Does anyone know how the homeless in SF are financing their drug addiction?

Working at McDonalds?

Working at McDonalds?

Would you employ a homeless addict? In the food industry?
The one who turns up for work on time every day?
You gotta be kidding.

They could wash dishes and sweep floors.  Most homeless people don't want to be homeless.

We are talking about addicts financing their drug supplies. Not “most homeless”.

How reliable are they to turn up for work and stay in regular employement.

The good ones are and that's how they get out out of their problems.  You can't get out of a bad life without a job and a cheap apartment.  You have to start somewhere.  I know.

The original question was - how are addicts financing their habits?
Lets go from there.

I do not think it is from regular employment.

OK, suppose it is crime (just for discussion purposes).  So is the solution to jail them at idiotic cost or detoxify them more cheaply?

[pr126]

I do not have a solution, apparently neither has the Major.
However, the situation will only get worse.

At one point the whole edifice will come crashing down, as it must.
Then what?

[Shiranu]

I do not have a solution...

Well, at least you are right about that. All you have is some super judgmental bullshit and no solutions.

Your side have already linked the statistics that these programs are effective at reducing the drug problem, both in reducing the number of addicts and deaths but also reducing the cost to the state. Are they perfect? Fuck no. But do they work towards making the problem less severe? From your own sources, yes.

So all I really hear now is, "Things are still not perfect, so I guess we should just fuck over everyone else and look out for ourselves!".

If you hate the world so much, which you clearly do since you bitch about anything and everything... even when people trying to make it better all you can do is put them down... go find a hole and live in it and leave it for the people who actually give a shit.

Well, PR is an angry person, and sometimes we get a clue about why.

But mostly, the answer to his complaint about druggies isn't to lock them up (at great expense and trauma) but to get them into therapy to return them to a normal productive life.

LOL.
I always manage to trigger the TS in comrade Shiranu.
