Agreed! It's about creating an environment exclusive of people practicing vices as one precondition for success.
If you're an alcoholic, it's going to be extremely difficult to stay on the wagon if there's a guy who offers you a drink every day... while you're trying to do something difficult, with all the intermittent failures and tough days that entails.
What's the worst way to combat poverty? Put all impoverished people together. What's the best way to combat poverty? Teach different behaviors and put some impoverished people in better environments, with non-impoverished people.
If someone is working to change their life, they deserve at least a neutral-to-positive environment in which to do that.
