    “Increase social service programs so that we address the reason why they’re homeless and doing drugs in the first place.”

    Doing drugs doesn’t imply a problem. UNODC estimates that only 10-15% of drug use is problematic. It’s not reasonable to assume that drug use is an escape from problems, any more than drinking alcohol.
