Seems to me there’s been a weird inversion on the left towards prioritizing individual rights over rights of society.
The right to use drugs in public, to camp in a park, to steal copper, to do sexually inappropriate stuff, to break laws, all seem to be more important than societal safety, comfort, and peace now.
This looks more like refusing to enforce the law rather than prioritizing individual rights.
100%.
It’s very hard for me to make a case for urban living, and more apartments, and less cars when the average experience in cities in America is rampant drug use, and tons of unenforced quality of life issues.
