I never thought of it that way and it is so true. You are right that the opinions of these politicians turn upside down when the problem is at their doorstep; and it’s unfortunate most of the time, they take the easy way out and just move the problem so they don’t have to face it. I also think that some of these political “enablers” are benefiting financially in some way. Listening to you always give me hope that there are more good hearted, principled people like you than there are self-centered enablers.
You are spot on with your assessment of the emergence of an enabler class, evidenced primarily across the US in the cities and states where the Democratic Party hold the power of governance. Thanks for providing an accurate descriptor which might help us fix these problems rather than further enable them to continue.
Fantastic commentary about our enabling society and its destructive impact on everyone.
The authorities charged with looking after communities are dehumanised, and couldn't care less about the wellbeing of those in the community. They're more interested in clout and being loved by all the wrong people to fulfil their own narcissistic need for importance and significance. At what cost!
It's akin to the negligent parent who hands them money to make them (the problem) go away. Even if it means death through overdose, suicide or homicide. "One less problem to deal with", the dehumanised system says.
Authorities who truly care for anyone's wellbeing hold themselves and their loved ones to account to reduce potential of harm and increase potential for thriving.
Co-dependence is what happens when one person enables through fixing or saving the other from having to do the right things for themselves. The fix needs to come from the individual scaffolded by appropriate supports to redirect behavioural extremes toward a moderate path. Enabling bad behaviour brings out the worst in humanity.
Of course, that is how they make their money.
"We have too many homeless!" The 'answer' is more money and the bureaucrats get their cut.

Good straight talk! And it's applicable not only to politics but to the church.
