|
By Glen Pearson
| London Free Press Verified
It’s the lie we tell ourselves about homelessness, and London has fallen for it, repeatedly. We drive past the encampment, step around the sleeping bag in the doorway, read the coroner’s report about another death in the cold, and we tell ourselves a story that lets us keep driving – it’s a local failure, a municipal shortfall, a problem council hasn’t gotten around to solving yet.
