You can't mandate everyone lives with a drug addict- people will move to wherever that mandate ends, whether that's a SFH, an outlying community, or a different province.
Spreading out the drug addicts doesn't make them any less addicted to drugs or likely to cause problems, it just spreads out the problems.
We don't need to make sure everyone gets to experience these issues, we need to solve them. At some point if enough people have these issues (especially where they live) you'll end up with political support for far right solutions.

Dispersing the drug addicts that thinly also makes providing the services they need more difficult and costly. There has to be a balance found between efficient delivery of services and ghettoization of entire blocks / neighbourhoods.
Again, the idea that 'everyone needs to experience this' is asinine.
