A great article...simply great. I had read of this approach two years ago after it was successfully implemented in Philadelphia, PA. Now to discover that this very practical approach to homelessness has taken hold...as I said, really great.

He also makes clear that it was the Bush Administration that was responsible for providing funding and support during this period of progress.
Now...let's apply this same radical approach to our drug problem. Yes, supply those who want to take drugs with pharmaceutical-grade drugs at cost (amazing how cheap these drugs actually are), while simultaneously educating people to the evils of drugs. Bye-bye "War on Drugs." Bye-bye huge profit margins so attractive to criminals. Bye-bye street warfare between the drug lords. Bye-bye the largest per capita prison population in the world.
