What mechanism of enforcement do I have when this person continues to use substances in their subsidized housing? How do I prevent my young children from smelling this person's marijuana? How do I prevent my young children from interacting with these people when they play outside?

Poor people are people. "My child should never have to interact with a person living in subsidized housing" is a rather remarkable claim.

Is your plan simply to imprison all poor people?

Mundane actually. I want my children to play outdoors without interacting with drug users. Your perspective is skewed.

No, and this doesn't follow.

I do not know any other mechanism to ensure that your child never interacts with a poor person except to imprison them all.

This is silly. You don't really believe this. My status quo is potless. We're discussing a policy change.

"What mechanism of enforcement"??

Well, maybe you should just give them judgmental glares until they realize that being poor is a bad choice and stop it!

Or maybe you should move, since you apparently have such stringent standards for what's "allowed" to be around you and your children.

I have a better idea. I'll stay where I am and keep drug users away from my children like normal parents do.
