What's up with the white bald guy reaching out quickly to grab the assailant and then just saying fuck it. What a fucking coward. He could have easily chased him down in about 10 steps and held him for the police.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

White folks in Langley roll over for the homeless. It's a joke that they have shelters so close to schools, homes and an ice rink. Some fuken crackhead stole my air force ones from the locker room back in April.....
I give this guy props for having so much passion. Even their signs are nice. |

If the guy is not a naturalized citizen yet, I'd really like to see the immigration department rescinding his permanent residence status and kicking him out of the country. There is no place for this kind of bullshxt in Canada. He is not welcomed here.

Why do homeless need housing in prime real estate areas and next to schools etc?
If there was a plan to treat addiction and homeless by building a massive modular housing camp out in chilliwack etc and install the resources and support needed I’d cut a $1500 cheque out of my own pocket tomorrow.
These projects I can’t say I support

everywhere is next to somebodys home, friend.
you cant throw homeless people in the middle of nowhere. they have the worst access to transportation coupled with the highest need for medical attention and government services.

If the idea is to reintegrate these people into society, you don't drop them off in a place far from basic services and opportunities.

Because EVERY SINGLE home owners will do exactly the same to stop it, if it's coming to their neighborhood.
Put yourself in their shoes and can you honestly said you'd be ok with it? I doubt that.

There's always Barnston Island............ any of you remember the thread back when most of you on RS were still kids?
Barnston Island - home of the secret and very well hidden 1/4 mile track.

Many of them have made their decision to be out there. Does it suck? Yeah, it does. But there are a lot of deserving people out there. I'm more interested in housing the single mom rather than someone who is more interested in the drug life.

It will be a single parent, it will be a new immigrant, it will be someone whose trying to pick their life back up. These homeless craxkhead people you speak of will continue to shun projects like this and often have no interest living in an apartment building.
Edit: I thought this was a low income housing meeting, not a homeless shelter

wait
are these SHELTERS?
or LOW INCOME housing? lol totally diff...
low income housing is like.. for 30-80k households... (i think?)
shelters are for 0 income bums that live on the street...
i'm guessing 99% of revscene qualifies as low income... haha

They're talking about shelters, not low income housing. I know there is a difference between the two. The problem with low income housing is that it's a generation away from being a ghetto. Many don't know this, but Vancouver had a huge number of project housing back in the 60's and 70's.

So because he's Asian, it's a Bruce Lee kick.
If he was Brown, would it have been a Jinder Mahal kick?
Another thought dawned on me: The amount of rich people here who fake low income / shelter dwellers.
