  • The poor will always resent the homeless.

    What an asinine thing to say, like somehow you have personal knowledge of being poor and unhoused.

  • Rewarding you with any up votes encourages your self-righteousness to escalate.

    Maybe it's time you started reevaluating your selfishness and its hold on you.

  • In freeindv's backyard. Not joking here.

    Nimbyism abounds and it's half the problem.

  • Canada did the same damn thing at the same damn time with the same damn repercussions because our PM followed Reagan around like a damn lapdog. 🤬

  • I didn't either when I entered auto mech in '89. That's why we go to college, to be trained.

  • The fact that the word "semite" describes a group of people who speak semetic languages (including Hebrew and Arabic) but antisemetism is only used to describe Jewish people is annoying.

  • tallwookie needs more 🧀 with their whine.

    (this is normal for them)

  • Only with an address. If you have no address you can't register.

    That said there are a rare few agencies that allow people to use the agency address to start the process, but that's the exception rather than the rule.

  • My guess is that AC has an investor who also has shares in a wheelchair assistance company, so that investor gets to double-dip on their profits.

    (This is something you see often these days with large investors.)

  • It's not free. You pay 30% of your income (source is the video).

  • I had to downsize to a bedroom last April and miss having my own kitchen and more space. I'd live in one of these in a heartbeat.

  • I'll play devil's advocate here ...

    First is many homeless need an address to start receiving any monetary help at all (CPP, social assistance, disability, etc). This starts the process.

    Second is many don't have jobs so wouldn't be able to afford the maintenance costs of a full-size house.

    Third is this could be a starter home for some, where they could get a job and start saving for a down-payment on a home or a larger rental unit.

  • So according to you just because we haven't figured out how to stop it we should just throw in the towel, right?

    Gtfo with your fatalism.

  • I liked it too. Makes more sense than continuing the explanation 18 months after the fact.
