A growing number of people are being displaced as costs go up in this region, but it isn’t the primary part of the problem. The people being displaced are the ones you don’t see and are couch surfing, living with family members, in shelters, etc. the people on the streets are the habitual drug users and people with mental illness who all are refusing treatment. This region has big hearts and small brains and continue to allow and enable and do nothing to fix the problem. It’s another excuse to gain funding and money from taxpayers. Enabling homelessness is a lucrative business.
