@@meanwhileonhastings... Homeless is also a stupid term for them. Your home can be anywhere. A house a bridge a box a tent. A home is where you live. Regardless of structures. A house is a physical structure. So maybe sometimes it's not softer language it's the proper language
@@jay7T6 I wanted to agree with you at first, but not sure I can. A home is a property you reside on legally. For example, I can break into your house and make myself comfortable, but it's not my home. Occupying the government's land is the same deal. For example, I can't section off a portion of a busy public sidewalk and label it my home. I do wish homesteading were still a thing though. Let homeless people go out and develop a small portion of crown land for themselves and live off the land.
i feel like people with jobs already struggling and now our tax money have to go to some of those who choose not to contribute ( of course there are people unable to contribute) i dont think this is fair at all
They always have a choice, to get a job, prefer do drugs and leave on the streets, is not lack of help. Now they ones that have mental issues needs to be in a ibstitution.
Not just the planet of their birth for many the country of their birth too those are Canadian citizens and that's why people get angry about immigrants being welcomed and given housing and resources instead it's not all racism it's neglecting our own and favouring strangers who never lived or worked here at all. Some homeless people may have worked and paid taxes for years prior to losing their job or being disabled or whatever reason they are now on the street yet "refugees" get more dignity than them?
The housing market does not meet the demand because very few people can afford housing. The wage structure does not support housing building. The disposable income is only above the median income. One half of the population is homeless but do not meet the description of homeless.
@@jay7T6 pretty sure its a bot or some dude to copy/paste these over and over again. or he is part of the "clean" homeless addicts that suddenly require 2000/month to live.
Why you didn’t do it in first place to let this happen ? Housing is part of human right and people with low income should have access to the that. It has been 14yrs by now
They don't want to pay rent or atleast 8 of them rent house together. U can't because their all selfish. Please get drugs off the hands of dealers. I'm tired
You know how you could make jobs for these people, instead of hiring other people to clean up their unsanitary streets, hire the homeless people making the mess and pay them to clean up after themselves. Interesting way of thinking, I know 🤔
Stick you whatever it is you do because city management is clearly something you have no idea about. Getting them to clean up, yea right. And if they are going to make money out of it mess will just move.
Not going to insult you, maybe in the long term this might be part of a solution. But as is it would incentivize making the mess to clean it. Kind of like how the government gave us covid then 5 vaccines :)
But they do NOT want to work; they would rather continue to receive handouts from tax-paying BC residents. And also free drugs (mind-boggling option, yet real) so that they carry on on that easy, self-destructive path.
Seattle, Sacramento, san jose, LA, Colorado, dallas, Oregon, st louis, Savannah, North Carolina, Muncie and other cities all built tiny home villages for the homeless already. Why doesn't Vancouver allow tiny homes, then volunteers and donations can maintain them? In Coastal Front's interview, Hardwick wanted to put 10 tiny homes in her church's parking lot to house and take care of the homeless, but was turned down by the current government.
Or a place u can pay 20$ a month or 2$ a day to park rvs and tiny homes on. My mom isnhomeless living in her car and that's the only was I can check on her after getting homeless on hastings.😔🥺💔
A lot of people that are on the downtown east side are mentally ill and were thrown into the streets when Riverview closed. It's important to note, we are all here to learn our lessons that we signed up for, life is like school. If you don't learn your lessons, you will just get the same, whether toxic relationships, financial issues etc., until you do. Let's stop being so hard on them and judgemental. Compassion, empathy and love go along way. Our Government has made many promises throughout the years to help them, nothing. Yet, we can hand over millions, if not billions to help other countries yet we are not taking care of our own.
Trudeau should have put a cap on rents massive greedy landlords. Welfare and employers should pay the rent for the Hastings employees if they feel they won’t pay their rent. Welfare should be increased to cover current rents. Build affordable little cute housing parks and have these homeless do their co op clean up jobs. Trudeau wouldn’t even house veterans in tiny sheds he is heartless!
Only thing I wish they have all those temporary parking lots.we could be leasing tiny homes those 10×4 homes. That's the only thing I'm upset with 💔❤️✊️
The city needs to build massive concrete high rise tower projects for the “undomecile” this way anyone setting up a tent will be escorted back to the projects
Homeless is required by society. The encouragement of government to pay less than 4 times the rent for one bedroom apartment local is the primary cause homeless population across the country. Criminal wages require someone to make up the difference between legal and illegal wages.
You seem to be suggesting that the severely mentally ill and drug addicts (whom make up a solid 80% of the tent dwellers) can somehow "manage" a room. Actually, in my dictionary of thought, your statement in itself, belies some kind of illness (at least in thought)
Why can't we require every job to be paying at least a living local commute. You know not a transient wage or a homeless wage but a living local. You have a minimum wage act that requires every employer pay more than the landlord rightfully expects.. ( 4 times the rent is the adequate income to qualify for a lease.).This income is normally called the minimum standard of living or the poverty line. What the landlord rightfully expects is what the employers pay.
It look like Vancover don't have jobs so people go homelees. Get them a place to stay is not going to help for a long term stability. And why the city let this happen untile now? I feel like somone been sleep overtime in their office.
Raising prices to support the legal wages is covered by linking the minimum wages to the cost of housing and the normal expectations of banks property managers and welfare departments rightfully expect 4 times the rent as enough income to qualify and this is the legal minimum wage in the area local commute.
Insane rents, ridiculous wages are not related to the situation of people who choose to live on the streets, use drugs or alcohol, or fall for prostitution. Life is hard for most people in this overrated city, this does not mean that we all should become homeless, drug addicts. There is a line between compassion and stupidity.
Systemic requirements as wages. Nobody can pay less than 4 times the rent for one bedroom apartment local. This makes every job a living local commute.
Every job as a living local commute provides a pathway out of the street. In recovery these people are all minimum wage workers they are not nurses and school teachers.
Nurses and school teachers are often paid what is normally considered to be less than 4 times the rent for one bedroom apartment local commute. They are usually paid at the poverty line.
@@markcampbell7577 You're obviously clueless about what you're talking about. A registered Nurse makes 40 to 50 dollars an hour. And teachers are not paid anywhere near the poverty line.
Everyone is outraged thier moving maybe disapoaiting them is good becuase my mom goes down there evday and yesterday she get burned by a torch up her arm
Not everyone who is homeless drinks or does drugs, some are from renovictions, lost jobs and like my wife and I with 3 kids had a screw up with our taxes and lost every thing. Get educated it's getting worse NO ONE can afford rent.
Update: Not everyone is a home owner. Assuming someone is a home owner could easily be made, but it could be false. Assuming it is possible to live somewhere, or with someone could also be made, but it could be false as well. Police were using brute force against people on that side of Canada. Reports of police shooting other people who don't have a lethal weapon were shown. Someone, or a group of people are targeting homeless people, and what makes their circumstances worse is the police officers are not protecting the homeless, and I have not seen yet a police officer help in any way a homeless person in Vancouver. I seen a letter that was shown about the homeless people. I don't know who made that letter, but whoever did clearly does not want homeless people in Vancouver. Defending is not a term you people understand. Having police remove by force, or by killing people who live in tents is not defending. It's attacking people! It's not just in Vancouver, BC that homeless people are in Canada. There are homeless people who are in different parts of Canada.
Don't forget the families that had to refuse the jab and lose their jobs because of it. Where are some of them now? Not all homeless are bad people, this government really needs to provide for low income people now.
Why city let inxrease tebts 5o that extent, woukd bd easier to remove them as soon as one tent appears, they wait until things increase to do something..
You need someone to look at the minimum wages and minimum housing cost. The minimum wage has to be higher than the 4 times the rent for one bedroom apartment local to support the wages of school teachers and nurses above the poverty line.

@Augusto Pinochet I think nimbism sucks too. However, I do think it is a bad idea to put build social housing in high density especially in towers. It's a recipe for disaster because poor choices and bad habits gets amplified and it becomes a slum. It's also a nightmare for maintenance as contractor do not want to work in such an environment. Social housing should be spread to a diversity of neighborhoods in low density so good influence prevail and help people get out of poverty.
@Augusto Pinochet I politely disagree as there are many high density development already tried and they have not turned out well which is why it’s a stigma in popular culture to live in such large complexes. Look at what happened to the DTES for example. A concentrated collection of social housing in mid rise towers and the whole area is a mess and consider the worst place in Canada. We need a spread out approach but nimbism makes it hard.
