But, maybe, investing that money into WHY these people are homeless, which a lot of the time is because of drug problems, would be beneficial too. What is leading these people to drugs? Prevention programs and rehabilitation programs so these people get off the streets. That sounds like a good place to start.
P.S. Woooooo! I love living in hippie central! I am an "us" instead of a "them"... yay!

Great news, if housing is prohibative in Vancouver ... this is a great big, huge country that each Canadian is free to move around within.
Anyone who wants a job, can have a job, anyone who wants to EARN a home, can earn a home. Not everyone will be able to affort Yaletown, but that's capitalism for ya.
