Liberals think they are better and more compassionate,
They aren’t .
Real compassion is tough love and not allowing bad behavior .
How do you institute “tough love” for people who already live in a state of constant fear/violence in squalor among other insane people like rats? Jail ,by comparison, is like a vacation by nearly all metrics and drugs are still easily available.
We already have some of the highest incarceration rates in the world and there is no room in many areas to jail even all the violent homeless. Jailing everyone for drug use is simply impossible and the homeless will just enjoy the free bed and shelter if we try. Jail costs several times more than housing and nothing the state can do is worse punishment than what they already experience on a daily basis...
