So what should we do about this, as a society, do you think?

I'm more of a housing first kind of guy. I don't think though the homeless problem can be successfully addressed given the current state of federal legislation on a variety of drugs that really form the bedrock of the non-economic elements of the problem.

But this post isn't about solving the homeless and drug problem in America. It's about whether this guy should move his admittedly scared girlfriend into an apartment next to Dexter Park. Not moving your ass into a problematic area is not exactly NIMBYism. And even if it were, that would not make it a good idea for OP.

I get it, and my response wasn’t really necessary in this instance.

I feel like it is hard to tell how an area will be without spending some time there, and some people will find problems with anywhere/some will be OK anywhere. I don’t know why I decided to add to the internet conflict baiting machine, as I certainly do not wanna weigh in on anyone’s decision to live somewhere or not
