Wow, some of you are callous and cold-hearted.
Have you no sympathy for people who are homeless in the most expensive city in Canada? Almost half of those who are homeless are working, they just can't afford shelter like the rest of Calgary's over-affluent oil monkies, who are part of the problem because they want to pay premium rates and inflate real estate costs. This is one of the big reasons housing is such a problem; people don't care how much they spend anymore - as long as they get a house. This leaves those less fortunate in the dust.
Drug addiction and rational choice is one thing; forced homelessness is another.
