The government recent miraculous (clearly it easily could have been done before) (didn't need #covid_19 to happen) housing of the homeless is presented as a success story, but they are not telling you about the deaths.
The "housing" provided is NOT protected by the Residential Tenancy Act; and is nothing more than Soft Incarceration; without the supports these people need and deserve.
They have been given beads, bobbles, and blankets; in exchange for their possessions, liberties, and for some already, their lives. #RIP

Cities are selfishly rushing to house the homeless; fearful of becoming collateral damage to outbreaks among vulnerable populations.
Victoria, BC has made promises of hotel rooms, but so far appears to be putting most effort into creating one or two large tent cities in contained and more controllable locations. (soft incarceration)
I've hear rumor of the local ball park being a possible site, but have not had a chance to check it out, but they are in full swing in setting up a large tent city in Topaz Park.
The Topaz Tent City is resplendent with washroom facilities, garbage disposal, running water, donated tents, and even a Safe Injection Site.
The right thing was done, only because the selfish privileged feared they may become collateral damage if the coronavirus spread among the poor and homeless populations that surround their rich people enclaves.
