Amazing how psychedelics might be legalized before housing in San Francisco.

Housing is far more complicated, obviously. To claim it isn't "legalized" is using a very weird definition of the word.

Luckily, the city of San Francisco can work on multiple problems at once. They don't feel the need to wait for the homeless problem to be solved before they fix a pothole on the street or apply a fresh coat of paint to a piece of playground equipment.

This is a simple issue that can improve lives. Sometimes in dramatic ways, such as for the terminally ill. And it can be changed without a lot of money or effort being spent.

Maybe homelessness sucks a lot less when you can hang out with the talking flowers and trees in beautiful golden gate park all day.

(I'm mostly kidding, there's no significant barrier to accessing pyschedelics in SF as-is.)
