The meeting was recessed after a protester threw a brick toward the stage while officials debated new proposals to compel addicts into treatment. Critics argue that the city must move away from harm reduction and return to abstinence-based programs to address open-air drug use.

The hosts mock this "vibrancy" argument, noting its potential application to bars and other age-restricted businesses.
