Good video up to where they get all mushy again at 45 minutes.... making drug dealers/takers state sponsored druggies for life.

Nobody will like this, but make drug dealing punishable by death penalty... and make the sentence almost immediately.... not 15 years later after 9 appeals. Make drug offenses 9 months imprisonment first time, make it years second time... 3rd time make it 5 years... 4th time death penalty.

Excellent.  Well worth watching.  Unfortunately, I don't see any chance of Free-attle mending its ways.  As long as there are people to tax, the city council will continue to subsidize homelessness, drug addiction, and crime.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

I'm not a fan of methadone or buprenorphine either, but they serve as a tool for the state - liquid handcuffs.  And of course neither will hamper meth heads from continuing their insanity.  But the gist of the video is that the city is actually encouraging this type of behavior, and that progressives are incapable of recognizing how their own policies have created this mess.  And sadly, there is no hope in sight.  Ari Hoffmann will lose his election to someone even more liberal than the person he was trying to replace.  And Free-attle will figure a way to pour even more money into the homeless magnet.
