City recommends three designated encampment sites
TBNewsWatch
52The shelter village we are being forced to pay for is supposed to replace the encampments. This is what the city told us when they suggested it. Please do not make these encampments permanent. I am begging you not to do this as a taxpayer who lives near an encampment and can't move due to health reasons. Residents living in areas near encampments already witness open drug use daily in residential areas, deal with assaults, increased property crime, and harassment by people who won't follow societal rules or be contributing members of the community. This behaviour will only get worse if the encampments are permitted. Please don't do this.

'Really severe' incident leaves Brodie Street library staff member shaken up
TBNewsWatch 53What did Togman think would happen by implementing "community facilitators" to work with homeless people, but doing nothing to improve safety for regular citizens? I stopped using the library years ago due to feeling unsafe and harassment from people while entering. I filled out their survey, but nothing changed. Welcoming people who don't want to follow societal rules which threaten the safety of others is a ridiculous idea. I truly hope the staff member will be okay. Being assaulted by anyone is never okay.

Art gallery head 'alarmed' by comments from city councillors
TBNewsWatch 34So this guy wants taxpayer dollars to build an Art Gallery and is also asking for donations from city residents... This project has been financially mismanaged, and the costs keep going up. Build housing or something this community actually needs on the site; we already have an Art Gallery that very few people visit.

Construction compromises might be made for the art gallery
TBNewsWatch 12We have homeless people living in tents a kilometre away, and they want to waste over $57 million on an art gallery we don't need and that a majority of the city doesn't want.

City identifies six potential sites for designated encampments
TBNewsWatch 20We should not have any encampments in the city. We need to get rid of the encampments and get these people into the institutions where they can deal with their substance issues.

'Rent gouging' pushes residents to encampments, say advocates
TBNewsWatch 15Stop depending on the government to fix housing. This is not a communist country where everything is provided and distributed by the government. Find your own solutions. Gather a bunch of investors and build some private low-income apartment buildings.

LETTER: Miles Street and the accountability gap
TBNewsWatch 11Well said Andre. City administration and council clearly don't care what residents and taxpayers want.

City to consult with stakeholders on designated encampment sites
TBNewsWatch 13This stakeholder doesn't want any encampments, especially within 4 km of a residential area. I think they mean enabling agencies, though, and not taxpayers.

City house prices up nearly 14 per cent from a year ago
TBNewsWatch 10Not in my neighbourhood. The crime rate is very high and affects my sale price. Thanks, Brian Hamilton, for doing absolutely nothing about crime in your riding. I'm asking $20,000 less than market because things have gotten so bad in the last three years. I can't wait to get out of this city and province.

Resident alarmed at encampment fire flames '5 or 6 feet high'
TBNewsWatch 9Shut down this public safety risk. Why is an illegal encampment with so many fires allowed to stay? Put the people with the other homeless in hotels, shelters or on the mental health ward if they need to detox.

VIDEO: Man handed five life sentences for setting fatal K.I. First Nation house fire
TBNewsWatch 925 years of imprisonment before being eligible for parole isn't five life sentences. Our justice system is a joke. This man should never get parole. He killed an innocent woman and four innocent children.
