Sure, 1P families struggle more, but the kids can turn out better or worse. Despite the amount of single parents in Canada increasing since at least the Seventies, the DTES has only become a serious problem in the last ten years... coincidentally, when the cost of housing and number of unsheltered homeless went up. |
"Sure, 1P families struggle more" Thank you for
finally conceding the point. One parent families do struggle more, thus children from single parents generally fare worse in life. That's been my point from the beginning
I lived in the DTES in 1992-1993 and it was bad back then too so you're wrong to say the DTES has only become a serious problem in the last 10 years, the opioid epidemic may have made it worse but back then it wasn't exactly shangri-la either. The DTES has been a serious problem for decades. I experienced more crime in
one year living in the DTES than I have of living in Victoria for
decades
Since you obviously think housing is the problem i'm still waiting for you to explain how you plan to house those that aren't, other than vague references to giving them with money and housing
