Unhoused has been a think in Seattle for a while now. WA is trying to budget 4 billion dollars for affordable housing in the budget this year, because the approach here is housing first, treatment and everything else second. So, we have needles everywhere, and addicts shooting up on the streets.
Don't forget they also bulldozed all the cheaper apartments and even several private homeless shelters. They want to be in charge more than fix the problem.
Look up the video of why Sowell stopped being a Marxist. There are no solutions from government programs, just the advancement and growth of the committees delegated the task of “solving the problem”. Leftists target the self destructive and malicious because they will never have to solve the problem, just profit off the “attempts”. They then take every few years or so to demonize their “past attempts” and push a “newer, bigger, and better” system that of course comes with a much larger price tag and much less of that money actually going to any services.
I don't have to, I've seen it in real life. At this point Washington and Oregon have legalized, then raised the price of anything illegal so long as they get their take. The roads they promised to fix never do, and the schools somehow never get funded.

Except online gambling because the Injuns would get mad at losing revenue
Of course, the grift demands it.
