Residents suing city over homelessness

Two class action suits have been filed by residents in Milton Parc and near the old Hôtel‑Dieu, citing vandalism and personal injury caused by the city having parachuted services for the homeless into their neighbourhoods.

Interestingly, the Centre for Research‑Action on Race Relations is taking the part of the residents.

This follows the news earlier Wednesday about private security to patrol areas where the homeless are known to hang out, and the renewed ban on loitering in the metro. I sense that the zeitgeist is getting a little adjustment.
