California Spent $17B on Homelessness. It’s Not Working

So they moved to Vancouver, had a home for a year, then become homeless. The news article did not claim that the homeless respondents were homeless before they moved; simply that they are not local to Vancouver.

If you become homeless after 6 months of moving, you weren't financially stable to begin with.

EDIT: It's a moot point anymore. The fact is, they are in Vancouver and are homeless. We should help them regardless of where they came from.

This might shock you, but the majority of people right now are not financially stable.

The point is that it has nothing to do with warmth. Read the thread.
