Don't you realize it falls on multiple sober people to go around dealing with the zombies?

I get the live and let live idea, but these people are actively causing problems and expense for the rest of us. And my answer pretends there isn't a bunch of crime and violence attributable to their lifestyle and behaviour, which is another whole can of worms. Pretending this isn't an issue is ridiculous.

I can only speak from personal experience - I've dealt with way worse behaviour from drunk people in Stampede than homeless drug addicts, none of whom do more than take up maybe a little extra space on the train. I've never once seen them act out.
