is it one city councilor or a bunch of them, acting out some self righteous mission?
Hopefully not one of the same ones that just approved a "no barrier" shelter for drug addicts and their dealers to hang out at.
I'm not keen on opening the "is hard drug decriminalization moral or immoral" debate here, just suggesting that some politicians are hypocrites when it comes to defining what constitutes exploitation or danger to the community.
Perhaps they crack down on the smaller issue as a way of making up for their decision when it comes to the bigger one. (Insincere "make-up calls" are not just a thing NHL referees do.)
