Topic: I was driving around Seattle and there is a fentanyl crisis.
Anonymous A started this discussion 3 weeks ago #137,450
The crisis is it isn’t doing its job. The city basically turned poor Chinatown into a dumping ground and then feigns Woke to “ensure the rights” of street shitting junkies. Kind of like how Philadelphia stuck them all in blue collar Kensington. The city does nothing but claims it’s engaging in harm reduction, without actually providing any services required for Dutch-style harm reduction.

Point taken. Holland engaged in “harm reduction,” and failed. It’s a permissive policy that allows open drug use, but mixes in healthcare, counseling, clean syringes, and attempts to draw users into treatment programs.
U.S. cities claim to embrace this policy. Instead, they permit ever-growing open air drug markets. These cities do so in working class or immigrant areas where the community can’t resist. Instead, a junkie zombie apocalypse takes hold. Junkies feed their habits through crime, and set up unclean camps, ruining the neighborhoods they inhabit.
So the U.S. spin on harm reduction is no services and non-enforcement of the law. In permissive areas, junkie populations swell because they receive perverse incentives.

It’s even worse at the city level.

Tbh recently I did something (won’t say what) and I found my state government is actually really fast, but the federal government is really slow.

Nearly all of them. At least in the party machine days they provided essential services and built infrastructure.
