Putting homeless housing in the wealthy neighborhood is how to turn your entire metro into NIMBYs.

The vast vast vast majority of residents in that housing cause zero issues.

Not to go full carceral urbanist but it seems to me that a dude habitually jacking off in public should get arrested.

Lesson for progressives: If you refuse to police criminality, every aspect of your agenda will slowly unravel in the eyes of the public. You want addiction treatment, housing for the homeless, and the like? You ain't getting it without locking away the degenerate 3%.

They’d prefer for 1% of the population to ruin things for 99% than to ever do anything that could be viewed like harsh treatment against someone who codes as underclass or vulnerable.

Exactly, cutoffs are needed for trying to help people get back on their feet. You have to abandon the worst ones. Unfortunately the people who want to help others rarely have this intuition
