The fact that the city reacts to homelessness by suggesting public parks for the homeless to camp on, instead of providing unused buildings or other structures, or building shelters and affordable housing is most shocking. One would think that if the homeless problem becomes so bad that you are looking at parks then the city missed the mark completely to address the issue to let it get this bad.

Do you think this is serious or to wake up the provincial and federal governments? This problem is so out of hand all the way across Canada it’s disgusting this is happening. Starting to feel like the dirty thirties in this country.

Even if they come up with a solution to help these people, rents will still go up and people in higher income brackets will become the new homeless. This issue cannot be solved without going after the landlords causing it. They will not lower rents and they will do whatever it takes to make more and more money regardless of how it damages our community. Break their game of monopoly before rents cost more than just a persons paychecks! Any assets and accounts, stocks, vehicles, your very freedom will be be surrendered just to have a place to live. They are becoming the government you don’t get to vote for, and who will own tenants as property or have them sent to jail for not paying what they demand.

We use Bissett Road Park very often, and it is a very high traffic area and lots of people use it. I would hate to see it go to waste, because the second it becomes an encampment, is when we stop going there. Although it is very far away from everything, so Im hoping that it will be a deterrent

That’s another interesting point. Some of these are far away from resources, bus routes, etc

Halifax is becoming over run with homeless people because it's a liberal city. Truro and Moncton police are directed to move people along. Truro police actually go out and tear down tents in the middle of the night. Net result, no homeless people in those places and they all end up here. Between people being stupid enough to hand money to homeless people jaywalking in traffic and letting them camp for free wherever the hell they want and do whatever the hell they want with no repercussions....Halifax has become over run with homeless people doing whatever they want. I pay 10k in property taxes to live here and if they're going to liberal it into a los angeleseque dump I'm afraid I'm going to have to sell out and leave. I/we work 16 hour days to pay for those parks with our tax money. If I were to pull on to the Halifax commons with a 300k camper and refuse to leave I would be towed within the hour, receive $2000 in fines and a $10,000 bill to fix the "mess" I made. Double standard much? I have to ask...why the F do I pay 10k annually to live on a 10,000 sf plot of land when Joe Homeless can go out and claim the park that I supposedly paid that 10k to fund and make it so that I can't use it anymore. The way things are going the homeless are going to end up owning all of the green spaces the tax payers own thru squatters rights. As soon as a homeless camp lands in an area petty crime goes thru the roof. The west end used to be like a small town with no crime. Homeless camp sets up in Flynn park...now everything that's not locked or nailed down vanishes. It's now progressed beyond that to car windows smashed and people trying the doors to homes to see if they're locked. It 's about time for a taxpayers revolt. Everyone stop paying your taxes until Halifax deals with this issue how it should have been dealt with in the first place, moving everyone found in a green space after 10 pm along and a I don't give a f where you go..its not my problem...get a f'ing job like the rest of us or die. Extremely unliberal, but when you stop catering to homeless people like houseguest relatives the problem magically disappears.

I've tried to type a comment six times now and it gets deleted instantly. I suppose I'll just give up... Just remember, this is what KZitem has become. Clean up the streets.
