A journalist interviewed a few people waiting in line for a room at place dupuis (for a radio piece on rad-can) and some are coming from surprisingly far, more than one came from the “l’ouest” and one even as far as Dorion.
I wonder how those old-montreal residents that were concerned about increased violence on their streets feel about the situation, people shuffling between the day-center in the old-port and the hotel would logically imply many more homeless in an area that typically doesn’t have many.

Accueil Bonneau is on rue de la Commune. The Old Brewery Mission is just down the hill. We see lots of homeless people during the day. They are part of our neighbourhood. I doubt they’re responsible for the increased violence.
