Addiction and homelessness went "hand in hand" for Maceira. And, while
he acknowledged that's "not everybody's story," Maceira is deeply
critical of Oregon's approach to the homeless crisis, which he said
often neglects to address underlying causes.

The "housing first" model is popular with those who insist that a lack
of affordable housing is at the root of homelessness. It prioritizes
giving homeless individuals housing without preconditions like sobriety
or addiction treatment.

"[That] doesn't stop drug addiction" or address mental health needs,
Maceira said. "Giving somebody a house doesn't resolve that."

Maceira opposes low-barrier shelters "in their entirety" and said a lot
of money is being "wasted" on programs that put the homeless out of
sight and out of mind.

"Drugs are being sold and used in those places," he said. "People are
dying in those places. I've done celebrations of life services for
people that have overdosed at low-barrier shelters."

Maceira has also spoken out in favor of re-criminalizing possession of
hard drugs in Oregon, saying lawmakers have an opportunity to "course
correct" during their current legislative session.

"Letting people use methamphetamine, fentanyl, and heroin or any other
deadly substance is not compassionate," he said.

Weren't you just robbed blind by someone who was denied that "fix"?

You certainly aren't very good at critical thinking.
