So last night I was looking around and I came across this really sad article.
Did you know:
“As the data in ‘Dying in the Streets’ shows, the median age of death for a homeless person in the province is between 40 and 49. This is almost half the life expectancy for the average British Columbian, which is 82.65 years.”

"Society could provide homeless people with easy round-the-clock access to positive and inclusive services that would help them be healthy, productive, contributing citizens but it chooses not to.
Instead, society shuns and stigmatizes homelessness and all but condones the 24-hour access to cheap street drugs that promise many homeless people a release from their despair and boredom."
Homelessness is a walk in a park (full of drug dealers)
