British Columbia

Yes many people take the help, but yes many people choose to be homeless.

Again, so we let them all freeze to death because some might choose to be homeless? This is a nonsensical argument. We don't remove seatbelt laws because some people don't wear them.

I live in Vancouver, I've been near the DTES my entire life, and have worked in the area repeatedly. I know how bad it is.

I'd love a single person here to explain how not helping these people survive the winter is going to be a positive thing. All these people are asking is to not kick them out of encampments until they won't die of fucking exposure. If we don't have the housing for them, what the fuck else are they supposed to do?

Nothing has made me less proud to be from here than the reactions I read to people who are homeless. Just gross.
