There isn’t an easy answer or solution to addiction (that might actually be unsolvable). That said, I don’t get a sense that the OP or many people are actually lamenting that we’re not solving addiction but rather that we as a society seem to now accept and tolerate the open degeneracy of addiction in public spaces and in that regard place a higher value on the the freedoms and rights of addicts above public safety.
