Like many woke progressives currently in politics, their councillor, Ausma Malik, gave them no advance warning about the 50-bed shelter, which is around the corner from an injection site and steps from an elementary school. Malik and city officials also refuse to respond to their safety concerns — which are more than valid considering the mayhem caused by the injection site and the fact that the service operator has not had a track record of being a respectful neighbour at two other Toronto sites. The shelter is months behind the targeted opening date but the city has been paying leasing costs of $604,000 since the beginning of the year. It will cost upwards of $880,000 per resident over the next 10 years. https://tnc.news/2024/08/01/levy-toronto-failed-homeless-strategy1/
