How brazen they have become has completely exploded since covid, and it appears all of the enabling we have done recently isn't working. I'm honestly not sure if the answer is to do more for them, or do less.

Yeah, I really feel like we're feeding the monster with trying to cut them slack and just letting them nasty up all our public spaces.
Is there something in between a jail, a psych ward and a detox facility as well as some mechanism to snatch these people off the street and house them for a while to get them clean and thinking clearly? I don't think the kid gloves are helping.
