"It's more dog eat dog," he says. "Everyone's getting stolen from, you fall asleep and someone rips off all your stuff."'

"1. Gentrification must be paused
2. We need a safe supply of drugs
3. We need secure housing
4. Meaningful reconciliation and Indigenous relationships are key
5. Income and disability assistance needs a serious rethink"

By Shane Simpson 17 April 2023
The former BC NDP minister who grew up in the neighbourhood offers five ideas to grow a more resilient community.
A very long read but also a convincing argument
"‘There is a public consensus that government needs to act"
foundational issues that need to be part of any discussion
* Gentrification must be paused
* Safe supply of drugs
* Secure housing
* Meaningful reconciliation

“To say the Hastings tent city and the survival strategies that come with it are the ‘cause’ of the problem is to ignore the reality that they were the effect of a very real problem of systemic policy failure that impacts us all but that only happens to be most visible in the Downtown Eastside."

Will "dedicated team" uniforms be brown?
What special powers will they have?
