"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer."
I've seen bust after bust, million pills here, 100,000 there, fentanyl.
Unknown dosage per pill, but guaranteed to make you incapacitated or kill you, so .....lets get some unknown pills and try to die tonight. . . . .
Eventually all the dopers will die from bad stuff. . . they can't stop it all.
Reminds me of crack in the 80's. . . .
And. . . .tough love works...if not for the addict, for you!
I can attest. . .
Then you have all the "compassionate" DA's not prosecuting crime. It's so sick. So to answer the title: It's because the big cities quit protecting their citizenry and decided to protect criminals instead. Cause feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings...

An addict with a choice of getting clean on their own, without any help or, intervention is going to most likely continue using. Most of the homeless I’ve seen in Seattle, are heroin addicts.
America has never lost a war as bad as they are still losing the war on drugs
Portugal seeks to be doing it pretty well with a health based approach rather than a crime based one
There is a few people who do interviews with these people and he asks how much they do a day and its hundreds of dollars worth a day and he asks how they get money and its prostitution or stealing. But the city can't find the source of the drugs? ... then it's the city.
If there is a couple million homeless somewhere and then funds are allocated there of say 10 million. Well the homeless each get one paper bag lunch with an apple and a tuna sandwich, guess who gets the rest? Homelessness is a profitable business for the people who run cities.
99.9% of them on the streets are lazy drug addicts , that keep expecting free shit. And they get it , so why would they stop?
One of the main reasons why Dubai is such a safe city is because of its strict laws and penalties. There is zero tolerance for crime, which deters many people from even considering committing a crime in Dubai.
The police force is also highly effective in keeping the peace and maintaining order.
Maybe it’s easier to try and prevent the gateway substances than to clean up the hard drug addicts?
But with that said, I don’t know that prison for non-violent drug users is working….doesn’t seem like society is getting enough bang for their buck working it this way. So either make prisons harsher (and therefore less expensive)-less amenities, colder/hotter, manual labor, same food every day (like bread and water), one hour out of the cell a day etc-as a more brutal deterrent…or figure out some other consequence that would clean them up, teach them life skills, teach them coping skills, etc so they can get clean and stay clean? Maybe a combination of both…three tries in the detox place, then you’re going to prison and nobody wants to be in prison.

IMO people not getting married if they don't want to isn't a bad thing.
don't ask me about outside downtown, i don't dare venture past about a 3 mile radius from Ford Field
i was 19 (40 now) when i got my first cell-phone and it was strictly for work. we didn't have social media. hell, when i was in my 20's i got myspace on a PC and just used it to get laid. i see kids in Elementary with I-phones, snap-chat, Instagram, etc and just shake my head. my wife (against my will) got our 11 year old son an I-phone and within 2-months she confiscated it for good. he was looking at porn, following idiots on snap-chat that do nothing but smoke weed and degrade women (heavy use of calling women bitches was in his texting with friends), and just generally horrible nasty behavior for 2 months. there is no doubt in my mind that it was all created by having access to that bullshit at a too early age.
