@Lydie
/1 Need to mention:

1. Homelessness (despite SCOTUS' City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson) is NOT a crime; homeless people have right to exist, live somewhere, freely.

2. Addiction (despite populist whining of shills like Pierre Poilievre - Canadian leader of official opposition / presumptive next Prime Minister) is a medical/public health issue, not a criminal issue.

Numerous Joe Lonsdale mentions here:
