That's because it's a complicated problem, and you can only (sometimes) grasp simple ideas. As has been noted on another thread,
business break-ins have quadrupled. Think people desperate for money are now more desperate to get it? From purely anecdotal local knowledge, residential break-ins seem to be up. One neighbour had their garage broken into, and had their tools and toilet paper stolen. (They can replace the tools.)
If there aren't drug supplies locally available to addicts, hundreds might be withdrawing, many of them requiring hospitalization as a result. That's a bad scenario when we need all the hospital beds available that we can get.
At least a couple of days ago,
a man on the street said street drug prices weren't any higher, yet.
As noted by Feathered Friend on another thread,
safe supplies of street drugs will be coming.
