    I’m in Winnipeg… I live in one of the ‘nicer’ mature neighborhoods, with parks and schools every couple of blocks. This is happening everywhere.

    Some dude who appears to be experiencing some housing issues pitched a tent in the park I walk my dog in daily. We play with the kids there quite often and it’s a hub for families in the area with a Jewish education center and old folks home surrounding it. The homeless guy doesn’t appear to be bothering anyone and keeps his area tidy… I’m a bit torn as to whether or not to report him or ask the cops to rustle him out or whether to just leave him be. Having him relocated isn’t solving anything, and might just put him back under a bridge where he likely isn’t safe to stay. I know he’ll be gone by winter though, if he starts lighting fires to keep warm he’ll be gone in a hurry.
