This is also what I've heard, and read on the Egan Facebook page. I was surprised to read in Don Kayle's column that he thinks "the program could have been designed to use fewer volunteers, but the surplus is strategic." Your opinion?

I think the city needs to set up a large, round the clock homeless shelter, and make land and money available to set up more rest stop camps, with Conestoga huts instead of tents on platforms. The City Council needs to understand that they have a responsibility to deal with this, and if they don't they will always have trouble in this city.
