Here’s the Before (2016) / After (2024) photo of Rue du Docteur Paquelin in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. The transformation took place in 2024, and there’s zero hint of it on Street View - hence some comments suggesting the "garden street" photo was AI ;) 2/2

I’ve been commuting by bus from Overbrook to Orléans for the last month and the connections are quite poor. I think a big part of it has to do with poor headways and lack of walkability from O-train stations near Overbrook. Interested to hear if you have any additional observations!

If you’re interested in learning more about how we can end homelessness I’d recommend the book “Ending Homelessness in Canada” edited by James Hughes, the book covers everything you could possibly need to know about homelessness prevention in our country.

If we are able to help people hold onto their housing, help them find an alternative, or help people return to housing in their community we can reduce the reliance on shelter stays or people sleeping rough
