    He said his government presented a list of about 40 alternative sites to the municipality, but he didn’t give details to reporters.

    Probably because he knew reporters would vet every one of those sites and find numerous issues with many of them.

      There are 30 spaces prior to these new areas for hundreds and possibly even thousands of unhoused. The province and city are doing the old…if we can’t see them they don’t exist.

      As a side note I just walked by the huge gardens at the Lt governors house two days ago. That’s a great place for an encampment. It never gets used for anything. It’s already maintained by a team of dedicated gardeners and maintenance staff. It has a fence in place already. The house is always empty. Lots of bathrooms and kitchens I bet. It’s perfect.

    Judging from the way many of my neighbors reacted to a homeless camp moving into a local park, I think there a lot of people homeowners who would literally jump at the first opportunity to “disappear” unhoused people

      You say unhoused but you actually mean criminals and addicts.

      Wonder why nobody wants them in their neighborhoods. They’re not upstanding citizens contributing to society.

        Well since the Supreme Court recently ruled that outdoor camping in public can be criminalized then I guess yeah I am talking about criminals.

        And fuck outta here with that shit about addicts. You willing to drive your neighbor out of his house because he has a drinking problem or do you just reserve that kind of hatred for poor people?
