On Nov.5 the City of Toronto announced they will build a home for the homeless and elderly on George St. in the downtown area. It will comprise 622,000 sq. ft. and will cost $580 million.
This multi-purpose facility will include a 378 bed long term care home for homeless, vulnerable and elderly people; a 130 bed all gender transitional living facility for the homeless who require more intensive health care and substance abuse support; a 100 bed emergency shelter for men who are newly experiencing homelessness; 21 affordable housing units with supports; and a community service hub for clients and the surrounding community.
It sounds pretty good, but let’s not kid ourselves: the capitalist class and their political stooges don't like large numbers of homeless wandering around the downtown areas of big cities -- who knows what they might do.
Better a society where there were no homeless.
