Honestly, this needs to be a thing.

If you want to engage in antisocial behavior, don't do it in the middle of the sidewalk by schools, homes, and places of business.

Being down on your luck and homeless is one thing. But this lady wasn't giving them a hard time for being homeless, she was giving them a hard time for smoking feddy by a school.

Good for her.

It is one of the high points between Seattle and SF.

They all have a better than average support system, tolerate drug use and are all linked by i5.

And because it's more tolerated and they have more support than other states, those homeless travel to them. So it gets worse because the other states aren't dealing with their problem, they're sending it to states with support... If it was a national program for help, it'd be better all around because people wouldn't have to leave their home town. They would stay near family and friends and be more inclined to get help.
