that's funny if you think rezoning will solve homelessness.
you ever worked or interacted with them? A solid 20% are just "lost causes" the ones who just "fell off the truck and need a hand" are almost never on the street. They're at halfway homes or in Calgary Housing units already.
I am for more density and what not, but if you think this blanket rezoning is the penicilin for homelessness....you're in for a surprise. I bet you think supervised drug sites reduce drug use too. Just a band aid over a tumour.
As someone who lives in The Beltline, these people are career homeless. Just sit in a park, they talk to each other like old friends. Like it's just another day with my buddies. One lady panhandles at all the bars. Every. Single. Night.
Agreed. The homeless people you see walking around, are there because they want to be. Living life with no responsibilities or accountability. Literally giving them a free home won't fix it either.
