Personally I think the real reason it is getting worse is because reserves in Manitoba tend to crapholes, and it is hard to get proper housing in Winnipeg for the aboriginals that leave the reserves. The fact that the barracks in Winnipeg are sitting empty while still being heated speaks to that. Manitoba Housing should be given ownership of the place and a budget to remodel it for low income housing. But every year they just spend more ridiculous fees on the lawyers to avoid having to do anything with it.

The land of the old Kapyong military barracks is nestled in between Tuxedo and River Heights, two of the most wealthy areas in the entire province. The residents of the area immediately surrounding the land are vehemently opposed to creating an Urban Reserve at the old barracks, as they fear property values will plummet, and crime will rise.
