so is this a ubc school project created by this guy?

i can see the creative work that he has done, but i don't see the point. is he trying to say good things or bad things about homelessness?

i only skipped through the first video though.

Not all people in the DTES are young and homeless, drug addicts, or jobless. Not everone gets or wants the assistance. Anyway.................... I'm watching the rest of the guy's video right now. Good so far. First one is like a fun one, then it gets down to business.....

Nice find, Armind. Can you put up links to the rest in your original post?

Some people may not realize that what's posted is the first in a series of seven (even though it's right there in the title).

The rest is way more interesting.

How do people not know the statistics for homelessness? People on the news talk about this shit all the time!

$75k/yr for homelessness gets cut significantly when there is sustainable long-term housing, as a great deal of the cost goes towards public homeless shelters.

The creation of social/below-market/cheapass housing SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the cost and effects of being low/non-income. This is why people keep pushing for social housing!

there is lots of cheap housing all across canada... the only reason these people are here is because of the warmer weather and more free stuff. if we stoped giving out free stuff the people would leave. and then it woudln't cost us anything.

So that's the reason that there's more than 4,000 homeless people in Montreal too, eh? Lots of warm weather and free stuff...


Let's not forget...no matter what we do some people will be poor and lazy. There is no way to MAKE everyone become productive and contribute shit. You can't force that. But what you can do is minimize the vampiric drain on everyone.
