If that were to happen Greyhound would be back on business and business would be good.
That solves maybe a sixth of the problem - only 16-17% of Metro Vancouver's homeless are from another province (page 39).

Kicking out non-locals is one thing, because that allows us to shelter or rehab almost every Vancouverite... tearing down the shelters means the tent city crowd doubles.
