How about we stop moralising and just provide shelter? Half of population is hooked on opioids and psych drugs. But somehow it is unacceptable for homeless to get high.

It is responsibility of city hall to provide basic infrastructure. That includes showers and toilets!

Maybe if they would be in house, they would stop killing themselfs. It is kind of hard to get dosage right on dark street.

Indeed. It must be unacceptable for everyone. Drugs, like religion, is a cancer of society.
