Ethics and Homelessness
with Judy Graves, Coordinator
Tenant Assistance Program
City of Vancouver
Where do we think the poor should go?
What are the ethics of a City in which the poor sleep in the streets, children are raised in crowded, damp basements, and elderly tenants have to leave the city because they can no longer afford to live here?
We stand at a crossroads. Do we want to plan a city which is home to both rich and poor? And if we do not want the poor in our city, where do we think they should go?
"Homelessness is the dark shadow of prosperity." - Philip Mangano
