You can still charge people for disorderly conduct and public intoxication. This is just taking away charging people for having fentanyl in their purse.
>The gov't fully feeding, clothing, and sheltering large groups of addicts is impractical and unviable in most/all places.
It's completely viable it's just impractical. There are not THAT many homeless people. However there are diminishing returns for everything... Some people are on the street because they trash any home they're given access to. Also the better you take care of this population the more homeless people move to your progressive enlightened area. It's viable but nobody wants to pay for that shit when there are other social goods you could be doing.
