    Literally anywhere that isn’t a public space. Hell, take over some apartment buildings. Landlords are the reason the problem exists in the first place only fair that they pay for it.

      The thing is bud, I agree with you here. Vacant condos, apartments and homes should allow squatters by law. That will solve the housing crisis and quickly drop rents and housing prices.

      Problem is getting councillors, MPPs and MPs to agree with this is an uphill battle, as many of them more than one home, and there is astronomical amounts of money and interest in preventing this.

      If we are to give the unhoused any help at all, using the public resources we have at our disposal to block community efforts at an interim solution seems like a wasteful exercise to me.
