Without more information, we risk the worst outcome — far worse than throwing money at uncertain solutions and having little sense of what effect it’s making.
Anchorage Police investigate a death on the Delaney Park Strip near 9th Avenue and F Street in Anchorage on May 23, 2023. — this year, the 24th death came before the year was even half over. Now we’re approaching double that total, with two of the coldest months of the year still to come. If last year was a failure, as city leaders correctly assessed it, this year is something worse — a collapse, an implosion.
So how should we respond? One of the biggest problems standing in the way of more effective solutions — other than the high cost of dealing with social problems — is the tendency of policymakers to let their politics dictate their view of the optimal response, and to oppose those whose own politics lead them to a different solution.
