They still have a homeless problem, it's just without exacerbating factors.
As for property crime, no one wants to live in a society where someone can steal your stuff with impunity, as the broadly supported recent recall of the DA in SF has clearly shown.
Not prosecuting property crimes has to be the biggest what the hell did they think was going to happen I have ever seen. Impunity is a slippery slope.
Maybe you know different people than I do but I don't think that line of thought is as common as you think.
You know there's countries out there which aren't trapped in endless recividism cycles and enormous organized crime recruitment in the penal system right?
There’s an enormous amount of abuse in homeless encampments and on the streets. Shutting down psych hospitals didn’t reduce the abuse, it just moved it from a system we’re responsible for and could improve, to an un-system we can ignore and can’t improve. IMO, shuttering the wards was cruel.
