I agree with your statement, but just because it's worse/similar a lot of places in the world doesn't mean I think we should be accepting this.
Having people living in tent cities with all of the issues that come with those isn't something I think we should have anywhere, and I'd prefer we do more about it here. Walking passed multiple people every day killing themselves slowly with drugs is becoming normalized and accepted. I'd prefer we waste a bunch of money and effort on things that don't work in the search for a solution rather than just managing the current state of things.
