Of course that comment was from a politician, so take with a grain of salt. The author has mentioned a few pages earlier that, in a city that defines the definition of liberal, there is no popular support for a barrier. It's indicative of a general, "Good riddance to bad rubbish" attitude our culture seems to have towards those with mental health issues rather than a left/right political issue.
Then again, making apolitical issues into political fodder is a societal obsession nowadays too isn't it?
I remember that article. It was about building the barrier to prevent people from jumping. I thought it was ironic that conservatives did not want the barrier, but liberals did. Usually, it's the other way around in "right to die" issues.

I am always open to new acoustic singer songwriters. This is wonderfully wistful for me.
