Strictly speaking, the one does not contradict the other, as each chiefly addresses different topics: the unhoused in public spaces on the one hand, public drug use on the other.
Yet a difference in attitude is certainly present here, as well as a difference in the understanding of freedom as a value.
I don't have a pat answer about the "correctness" of either approach. I do know that progressives should be thinking hard about these matters

Is leadership about moral comfort or lasting order? The Arthashastra forces that choice. What would you protect first? #Arthashastra #Kautilya #Chanakya #AncientIndia #Statecraft #Governance #Strategy #Leadership #Power #PoliticalThought

Today is #Tolstoy's birthday. His #politicalthought is radical, #anarcho-#pacifist & #iconoclastic. Here's my book on it: https://sites.google.com/site/christoyannopoulos/publications/tolstoys-political-thought-christian-anarcho-pacifist-iconoclasm
Core chapters explore T’s
#pacifism, #anarchism,
#anticlericalism, #asceticism &
#nonviolent #activism. Each time first systematising T (with plenty of poignant quotes), then discussing criticisms of his views, then reflecting on relevance since. -

A book I want to reread is C.B. Macpherson's "The Political Theory of Possessive Individualism".

As the Austin Chronicle article notes, there are grounds to believe the School of Civic will suck resources out of existing institutions for research and teaching in the liberal arts at UT.
Don't be fooled by the pretense that this is merely about reviving study of "Great Books".
UT already has a center where undergraduates can undertake the study of core texts and ideas of the western tradition under the direction of a leading Straussian scholar, Tom Pangle:https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/coretexts/
I suspect that Rufo et al. are unhappy with this center because Pangle is an East Coast Straussian, not a West Coast Straussian; see this Jeet Heer article for the distinction between these two currents of Straussian thought:

After some lurking, I want to #introduce myself properly.
After training in #PoliticalTheory & #PoliticalPhilosophy, I'm now at the Institute of #PoliticalScience in #Leiden.
I've worked in the history of #PoliticalThought & #DemocraticTheory, looking at things like the secret ballot & #CriminalDisenfranchisement, as well as #Polisci stuff like #EU #DemocracyPromotion
My current work is on the #RuleOfLaw & #DemocraticBacksliding in the #EuropeanUnion

I have a chapter forthcoming on (anti)democracy in the writings of Algernon Sidney (1623-1683) in a volume entitled "Republicanism and Democracy: Close Friends?" (Springer, 2022 or 2023). I look forward to receiving my copy & to reading the finalised chapters of all my co-contributors. I'll post the contents when I can! https://link.springer.com/book/9783031157790 @histodons @intellectualhistory @politicaltheory #republicanism #AlgernonSidney #democracy #politicalthought #histodons
