Private Prisons Are Behind the Push for Homeless Criminalization

There's an alternate conclusion (which seems a more sympathetic and obvious read to me) that people who would do drugs and have nowhere private they are allowed to be end up doing drugs in public.

I'm sure the cause/effect between homelessness and drug addiction is somewhat more complicated (and two-way; I'm confident that I'd be more likely to be an addict if I were homeless).

I think there is delineation between public drug use and open drug scenes. The latter is concentrated.

I don't understand how what you just said isn't painfully obvious to all.
