FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: WITH CHRISTMAS COMING SOON , HOMELESSNESS IS ON THE INCREASE!

IT WAS SAD THE OTHER DAY ON THE NEWS , A WOMAN IN NEW BRUNSWICK WITH CHRISTMAS AND COLDER WEATHER APPROACHING, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE SHE COULDN'T AFFORD TO LIVE IN HER HOME WHICH WAS AN APARTMENT AND AS A SENIOR NOW HAS TO LIVE AND SUPPORT HERSELF IN A TENT. EVERY OTHER DAY THERE IS MORE AND MORE IN THE NEWS ABOUT HOMELESSNESS AND PEOPLE HAVING TO LIVE ON THE STREETS AND OR IN TENTS TO SURVIVE. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND IN SOME CASES WHERE THERE WERE PROJECTS BUILDING SMALL HOMES WHICH IS A FANTASTIC IDEA, THESE PROJECTS TO HELP PUT A ROOF OVER THE HEADS OF THE HOMELESS HAVE BEEN SHELVED OR PUT ON HOLD. MAYBE DUE TO COST OR OTHER REASONS. I HOPE THAT OLD HOCKEY RINKS HERE CAN HELP OUT AGAIN THIS YEAR UNTIL SPRING. THE PROJECT THROUGHOUT THE CITY LAST YEAR HELPED MANY THAT WERE WITHOUT SHELTER AND A BED AT NIGHT BUT IS ONLY A BAND AID SOLUTION. SKYROCKETING RENTS LIKE FOR INSTANCE , A STUDIO UNDER 200 SQ. FT OF SPACE RUNS IN SMALLER MARKETS AROUND $1000./ MO. THERE SHOULD BE MORE GEARED TO INCOME HOUSING, MORE SMALL HOMES BUILT AND JUSTIN TRUDEAU SHOULD ANSWER THE CALL TO MAKE HOMES AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYONE!
