I wish the media would stop treating the increase in homelessness is some kind of natural disaster. Policies have created it; policies can fix it. The loss of rooming houses to condo development is a huge factor. This used to be the standard option for those down on their luck or simply troubled. The ongoing Airbnb problem is perverting the rental market with no end or enforcement in sight. And then there’s the pet issue in leases which also needs to change. There should be a damage deposit option for those with smaller pets.
