It seems like exceptions should be made to evict opioid dealers sooner.

Right? And I wonder why they aren't arrested. Wouldn't that get them out of there?

Arresting our way out of the problem has NEVER worked, but whatever.

I read the article: I kind of agree with Bonespur. We could open injection stations. This way we can cut down on overdoses. Arresting people makes better criminals. I will admit heroin addiction is a HUGE issue, if we can’t stop people from using, we may have to make things safer for the vulnerable. Dealing is a business though. The dealers have to go. If they are caught, eviction should be swift.
The tragedy is: the disabled and elderly are caught up in this.

They will never solve this problem without addressing the economic inequalities in our nation.

Arresting Dealers is entirely different than arresting addicts. Technically speaking, Dealers are guilty of manslaughter if anyone ODs on the opioids they sold.

What? How do we know they haven't been arrested? They could just be waiting for arraignment or court proceedings. They could have been convicted and let out, too. Point is, how would any of that "get them out of there"?

There are tenant protections and I bet Vermont legal aid goes bananas if they try to evict a dealer.
