"We don't want to punish people" --> proceeds to outline life changing punishments & little else.

Housing is #harmreduction
It's cheaper to house the homeless - and Dr. Andrew Boozary and his team at Toronto's University Health Network have the economic data to prove it.

* Hospital bed: $30,000
* Supportive housing: $4,000

Housing is humane and cheaper.
