How many people's problems were made better by living in the DTES? How many broken lives has the DTES mended? To how many desperate has the DTES given hope?
In every conceivable way, the DTES makes bad situations even worse. It destroys any remaining health; it destroys any remaining hope; it destroys lives.
No one who earnestly cares about the well-being of those living in the DTES can rationally oppose the gradual breaking-up of that poisonous neighbourhood. To defend the status quo is to advocate for perpetual misery.
