Let's not take flowery language at face value. Every single supportive housing project is allegedly for "low-income seniors, indigenous people, women, and other equity denied groups". The sad fact is that the people most needing of help also tend to overlap with the people that cause the most problems. This isn't a seniors' home for 100 knitting grannies here, this is supportive housing and there's no reason to expect it would have a different demographic than any other project.
I begrudgingly support projects like these, but it's ridiculous to pretend that supportive housing doesn't have impacts. If anything it just makes people angry that you're hand waving away the problems instead of addressing them.
