That's right but when the political leadership of a city/country is far out to the Left as it ishere in Portland you just have people doing whatever they want. Hell, the city handed out over 20,000 tents to homeless people and said go find a place to sleep so you can imagine how it was with drugs too. The city was a MESS. Progessives are killing the cities.

Maybe refine that to "well meaning people Who don't do their homework and cause chaos." I don't get It, we have access to so much good info. And the oldest meme I remember is" to be successful copy a successful person". It's so simple - with drugs copy Portugal. With education copy Finland...with how not to meddle with birthrates consult china, and so It goes on.
One city planner here proposed making spaces around certain new building in downtown specifically for homesless to sleep. Apparently she thought that was a good solution to the problem. Fortunately it was voted down but that's the sort of thing we have to deal with here!
