The name of the State, certainly helps (although there were a few surprises).
Wondering how many people have walked in downtown Philly, San Fran, Seattle etc. and wondering where people think all the money for therapy is supposed to come from, and wondering how people so messed up from drugs will ever make the choice to get clean to voluntarily accept treatment.
Drug addiction is awful. Safe-havens may reduce deaths by overdose, but they turn those cities into $h!th0les. Lookup Kensington, Philadelphia on YouTube.

I totally understand your concerns about the potential negative impacts of drug "safe havens" on cities. The example of Kensington, Philadelphia, is indeed a stark reminder of how these measures can seemingly exacerbate the problem on the surface. However, it's important to remember that the drug crisis existed even before the introduction of such initiatives. These havens are just one approach to manage the crisis, with the primary aim of preventing fatal overdoses and the spread of infectious diseases. With regard to funding, it's certainly a complex issue. However, perhaps the focus should be on creating a more comprehensive strategy that includes prevention, treatment, and integration initiatives in addition to these safe havens. What are your thoughts on a holistic approach like this?
