> Left-wing run cities are much worse off than right-wing ones with respect to homelessness, violent crime, drug-abuse, etc, by any metric you look at

Unless of course you look at the generally much more left wing Western-Europe. But that doesn't fit your narrative.

Vancouver's drug policy is more left-wing than even Portugal's.

You're missing the point. The entire societies are more left-wing.

Why compare the US to Europe, and not leftist cities in the US to right-wing ones in the US?

That removes a huge number of potential confounding factors that could explain differences in outcome, letting the effects of differences in policy be better revealed.
