Perhaps, but why let a perfectly useful argument for cheaper housing go to waste, just because it's nonsense?

I doubt opioids are 90% of the problem. Every day I read about a senior citizen who is living in their car, has some retirement money, and usually not a drug problem but they lost their housing because it's too expensive.

This is the situation in Seattle. There are tons of people with drug addictions, but there are also clearly lots of people economically pushed onto the street.

So we still need more cheaper housing.
