Canadian Cities DECLARE Housing Emergencies Amid Encampment Crackdowns
Description
Canadian cities are now declaring "housing emergencies" to fast-track homeless encampment sweeps – and surprise, surprise, it's just expensive whack-a-mole with taxpayer dollars! Toronto's homeless population doubled in under four years, while cities spend tens of billions on "affordable housing" that somehow creates more homelessness, not less. We dive into the uncomfortable truth about the homeless industrial complex: build it and they will come, complete with wraparound services costing $50K per person annually.From Toronto's hostile architecture (concrete blocks to prevent tent setup) to Barry's mayor declaring "day one, no encampments allowed," we see two approaches to the same crisis. Meanwhile, advocates ignore the crime spikes, the screaming at night, and the fact that 70% of Seattle's homeless come from outside the city for the resources. The real kicker? New York's shelter system houses 95% of their homeless economically, while cities obsessed with individual housing units can't keep up with demand.Is this really about compassion, or is it a multi-billion dollar industry that depends on perpetuating the problem? What happens when "misguided compassion" meets fiscal reality? Drop your thoughts below – are encampment sweeps the answer, or just shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic?
