Just watching Global news on this- apparently between the city and the province they are spending $1.5 Million on this one building to house 300 people for 4 months. That is $5000 per person or $1250 per month per person.
Couldn't this money be better spent? I mean this building will be torn down in the spring. I would think that $1.5 M would be a huge start on some affordable housing project. Make it dormitory style; it's good enough for our future doctors, lawyers and engineers. Why not for the homeless?
Or hell, just send them to Mexico; I know of a few all inclusives that you could get for almost that much money.
