Unfortunately the study excluded people with addictions.

It's not necessarily unfortunate because as the story noted, if people with non addictions who are homeless are better served with this option, it frees up shelter space and resources for those with addictions.

Given the complex nature of this issue, there isn't going to be one blanket solution for everyone.

How will we know if the policy would help those with addictions?

How would that work though? If you have an addiction you're not eligible? Who would make that determination? And wouldn't it just be better to know if this policy would have helped people with addictions as well? If it would help, you could make the argument it should be applied universally.

Sadly, I think that treating homelessness might be like triage. You can only house people that will take it. People with addictions need a different approach.

We want compassion for the homeless, but what about residents’ rights to not have to deal with the associated crime and other disruptions?

I do wonder why Boyle Street is leaving its current location on September 30, even though the lease was the same price.

Why does race need to be mentioned here? Doesn't help your argument.

Cause rich old White guys are the most privileged people in our society - it does support the argument.
