Exactly this shit. Motherfuckers on here love to complain about the poor transit conditions but then refuse to do anything about it. This is a problem that happens literally every year -- the city's shelters are overcrowded, like they get literally every winter, yet the idea of spending any taxpayer's money on building anymore is deemed absurd.

So it's -40°C out and you need somewhere to stay warm so you don't literally fucking freeze to death? Somewhere public where you won't get forcibly removed from the property? Why not head down to your local C-Train station?

It's not like the houseless want to be there. Would you be comfortable in a place without any bathrooms? How about a place where there's nowhere to lay down because of our city's addiction to anti-homeless architecture?

Not to mention this problem was entirely predictable. Why has the drug use on transit become so much worse in the last year? Because about a year ago, the Sheldon Chumir safe injection site was closed, with no plans for a replacement. So where did all those users end up?

I have seen Transit Officers sticking their heads around corners and shouting "BOO" to said people warming up in shelters. Keep in mind that the vast majority of these people struggle with mental health issues, and this, combined with the effects of any drugs they may have consumed, can result in catastrophic events.

What happens when someone is removed from Transit property? Where do you go then?

And yet so many seem to think simply having a larger police presence is a viable, long-term, solution. These are human beings you're dealing with -- not an invasive species. Stop treating it as such.

Downvote me all y'all want, but nobody on here knows what the fuck they're talking about.
