So basically that thing the city does every so often. One time they called it Operation Sunshine or something. Here's the thing. Dealers are not the problem. They are supply responding to demand and there will always be someone willing to do that. You need to address demand. The users are the problem. Massively expand access to medication-assisted recovery and homeless shelters. Start enforcing laws around possession, vagrancy, panhandling etc and divert them to secure rehab facilities.

We won't do it though because you'll have the civil liberties people insisting people have a right to shoot up in the streets and shit on the sidewalks and people on the right saying junkies don't deserve housing.
