We also need to get tough on social disorder, crime, the lack of safety in our cities and the lack of feeling safe. We may need to start holding these people and the people in the courts and in office to account. Just because some addict thinks it's ok and some people are naive and are ok with allowing these people to go on rampages causing destruction, doesn't mean we should allow it. How much destruction should one person be allowed to conduct before they actually need to be locked up for a very long period of time? It's always when someone is affected do they expect things to have gone better. The system is beyond broken but we have enough fixes we can do to actually improve things. It's almost like people WANT this to continue and let everyone's lives getting destroyed by drugs, homeless and more.

But also, not raise taxes, and certainly don't vote for any politician that doesn't lie about how they will cut your taxes. Because we know our courts are under funded and staffed too. More police? More taxes. But nobody will vote for that, so here we are.
