Excellent counterpoint Jason... I'm not quite sure which class fender fits into. I see lots of ideas but very poor spelling and grammar! Might be one of the trashy types masquerading as someone better...

Heaven forbid fender gets his house repossessed for some reason or looses his job and, at the end of his rope, has to head for downtown to ask for change. And I'll echo Jason, whenever I go to TO or when I visited Montreal last summer, there were a lot more homeless/begging people than I see downtown here and they're still bustling places.

There is a reason for having shelters downtown, well there are several I'm sure but I can only think of a few and they are things like: close to public transit hubs, close to amenities and close to a place where people go. Fender, perhaps the answer isn't looking down your nose on them and calling them trash, it's helping them. It might actually make you feel better about yourself.
