I guess what I really mean is that it needs more athletic space. Agree there isn’t really a shortage of playgrounds for small children.

I can’t tell the difference. Except now we have Santos of course.

Who’s downvoting this? Mods? Who wouldn’t want to see the results of this poll?

The city needs more playgrounds generally.

Doesn’t matter, apparently there’s no way that police don’t suck.

I guess we have to abolish the police, then! Even the traffic cops!

I was in Lisbon years ago and it was like the Tenderloin in San Francisco. Junkie zombies everywhere. They’ve turned that around.

In case anyone’s interested in how Portugal handles this stuff, here’s an interview with João Goulão, the guy who decided Portugal’s approach.

I mean coerced treatment in the sense that if you reject services, there are consequences to that. They don’t automatically toss you in jail if you reject services, but you can be required to do community service or pay fines.

This is the only thing close to such a map that I see in the hyperlink. This doesn’t look like a map that “highlights sections of Midtown where housing is barred.” This looks like an extremely small section of what I consider “midtown,” and mainly looks like downtown, Brooklyn, and Queens.

The videos of the walk to the platforms kind of blew my mind. It’s like an airport.

They won't find good jobs when they're dead or incapacitated from their drug habit, either.
I really do believe the best way to deal with this is Portugal's approach. But it seems like a nonstarter because it involves both policing (which the progressives don't like) and investments in treatment and safe use sites (which conservatives and many moderates don't like).

I would support injection sites if it were coupled with a form of coercive treatment. Normalizing public hard drug use is a bad thing for a society.

Lol, of course they want a do-over.
Thanks for the response, though.
