Buying out hotels didn't work last time - even the pro-poverty advocates can see that.

LOL your bias is clear.

I'd love a ton more information and data on spaces available, who is occupying them, and who is requesting more space. All the way through the system until they are into permanent housing.
The opaque nature of these numbers serves some interests.

Before, it didn’t have a carrot
or a stick; now, without an alternative beyond another park/street, it’s just all stick. And so despite certain posters thinking everything from this council is the Best Thing Ever just because they voted for them... it’ll pretty much be the exact same result. No bias, just deep, deep cynicism.
Indeed. The BC Housing CEO is gone and the province is auditing
his wife’s “non-profit” Atira, so that’s a start.
