I think the bigger issue is amalgamating the homeless into a homologous group. Lots of homeless are between jobs, financial catastrophes, family crisis, etc. We often think of them as drug addled bearded dirty masses who hate to work. Data says otherwise |
You post a link to a survey that says only 15% of the homeless have lived in Vancouver all their lives, so 85% of Vancouver's homeless are not from Vancouver, again I will say it is unreasonable to expect Vancouver to deal with Abbotsford of Kelowna or Calgary's problems
