“Increasingly accommodate addicts”. Oy. I appreciate this article but gosh it could have perhaps discussed why there are so many unhoused and “addicts” being so “accommodated” at the expense of the tax-paying, rule-abiding civilized society in the first place.

Because half of our society has voted for a party that does not believe our government has obligations to its citizens. They choose to prioritize criminal rights over victims, illegal aliens over citizens, and government over citizens. In their defense, the other party is primarily cowards.
I asked a local cop friend about the homeless living in the city park. They let dogs run free and openly use drugs and generally occupy the space to the exclusion of everyone else. He said city ordinances preventing them from being arrested for what they are up to. If arrested anyway, they would be out again in a few hours. Giving them a ticket is pointless as they won't pay it. They can't be moved to the homeless shelter because of drugs. In short, the city has made it illegal for the police to address the problem.
Of course, I followed up with this: Can I bring my sheep and livestock guard dogs up there to engage in similar behavior?
Answer: No. You will be ticketed. If you don't pay the ticket, we'll seize your property or otherwise force you to pay the ticket.
He's not an ass. He's as unhappy about it as I am. He was just being honest.
Basically, "kindness" has been weaponized. In 1950 a bum in the city park would be told to leave. If he didn't, he'd probably get a beating and get the message. Instead, "kindness" dictates we must let them ruin their lives and decrease the quality of life around them. Just as rot spreads through a barrel of apples if the rotten ones are not removed, so does it spread through a community.
