Make them an encampment on your property then.

@bramptonjeff81 It doesn’t have to be

@Deeeeeeeeeeeeee-l5l Volunteer your own property then. Let us know how that goes for you

@Deeeeeeeeeeeeee-l5l Well then where will they build a home? They can’t build wherever they want if I can’t, so where if not the properties of the bleeding hearts?
2
@nigel6956 That is actually a pretty good point. Plenty of time and energy to build and steal, apparently.

@Deeeeeeeeeeeeee-l5l So, a slum. It’ll be a slum.
2
@Deeeeeeeeeeeeee-l5l Where should this camp go? They have no vehicles, or money to insure or fuel vehicles, so it’ll have to go into a community near transit. Who gets stuck with that on their street?

@ You can’t put up housing on property that isn’t your own. Most couldn’t survive on crown land, and it wouldn’t be fair to give ppl special access/rights anyway, especially since most of them are the source of their problems. I can’t build wherever I want, so neither can they. If they want a home, they can work 65 hour weeks like I do in order to make it happen.

@bramptonjeff81 Ppl have been trying to help the homeless forever. Most refuse to be helped meaningfully. Giving them special rights wouldn’t fix anything.
2
@ Then go help them. Tell me how it goes. Volunteer your own time and resources.
2
@ No, the government is neither responsible for, nor capable of, fixing homelessness or poverty. I am taxed heavily enough, and we can’t even maintain the welfare system we have in place. You are being naive, imo.
2
@ It wouldn’t end anything, but you’re right that we could allocate public revenues better.

@johnnyshanksalot8358 If I can’t put up a structure on property that isn’t mine, then neither can they.

For the same reason I can’t build a home on your property
