Ending Chronic Homelessness

[tomh009]

I don't think anyone (here, at least) is suggesting that "they should just put up with it". Rather, we have pointed out that this is a real societal issue with no easy solutions, and blaming the city, a charitable organization or a developer (who is trying to help resolve this) is not going to help the situation.

We have no silver bullet for this, all we can do is work toward better solutions for both the people sleeping in the rough and people who are not sleeping outside but cannot afford their own apartments or houses. I am encouraged that our city and region at least recognize these problems and are making attempts at improving the situation, even if more work still needs to be done.

I dunno...as far as social issues go, housing first is as close to a silver bullet as I've seen anywhere else.

It's the best solution, yes. Still not a 100% solution, though. And, so far, the political will to do that has been absent in Ontario.
