I would say in that case we should instead provide housing for all our vulnerable members of society with a round the clock healthcare team as they do in Finland. They got down to 4000 unhoused people recently.
As we could build 4 storey apartments under social housing to end homelessness in BC.
I do support building out social housing - Austria is an excellent example of how to do it well... but these houses don't exist yet so I have concerns about how public transit would be until they did - lowering the cost and adding more provincial funding today would help immediately.
