[QUOTE="DDT, post: 633903, member: 1379"] I understand what you're saying, but when talking about homelessness, "stick to what you know" implies that only you are an expert in this field. I'm pretty sure all of us have witnessed the homeless problems that are getting worse all around us, and I'm pretty sure all of us have an opinion on the matter... From what causes it, to what the solution is. My post on welfare rates is very valid regarding this, and I'll explain why: When I grew up in Langley, homelessness did not exist. Now it does, and it's a problem. So what happened? Way back in the day, the rent portion of welfare would allow one to rent an apartment in one of the downtown ghetto apartments... Take Crack Terrace for instance. The holding company that now owns it spruced it up a bit, and the absolute cheapest unit now rents for $1,250. Pictured below. These are where the scums used to live. This is a part of the problem, in my opinion. Some people may say, "Well, they've at least cleaned up the area by renting to higher grade tenants"... They really haven't, because now those bums live in tents outside. People KNEW they were ghetto apartments. Avoid the area if that's not your thing, or go there for drugs and join a random party. Six in the morning? No problem! Bums party 24/7, and are accommodating if you chip in. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/km7G5Fr/Capture3332.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
