See, it's weird to see people arguing that new temporary modular housing needs to have these supports because they already do.
Literally every single TMH development that has been constructed and opened has had on-site, wraparound supports available 24/7. Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Chilliwack, Nanaimo... name any TMH project proposed or built, and it has the supports that the anti crowd in Maple Ridge claim are somehow not going to be provided in this one case.
Make up stats (all homeless people are fentanyl-addicted zombies that steal and rape, thousands of them moved here in a matter of weeks, yada yada), lie about the services provided on-site. Textbook red herring that's meant to achieve the real underlying motive -- "we just don't want poor people in our city at all" without going so far as to come right out and say so.
