General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

[plam]

The homeless issue is obviously related to the housing crisis but also the drug epidemic which isn't the simplest thing to solve and when government continuously privatizes and makes less funding available it just compounds the existing problems so the Region is not a joke, it's as much of a joke as every other municipality because we're all facing the same issues.

Exactly. Indeed many of these problems are problems not just in Canada but in other countries as well---comes up in NZ all the time. Expecting a city to fix all the problems is... unrealistic. (But not electing Conservatives goes a long way. They just like to pretend it's 1984.)
