There is a homeless problem in Kelowna. The number of homeless people is rising dramatically each year. We now have 5 times as many homeless people as Calgary! Literally!

The government is going to try and make some shelters --- But some feel it's a waste of money for our city. Some of my friends say that it's their own fault that they're homeless and that they should face the consequences of the choices they made, and stay out on the street to fend for themselves. Dog eat dog, the strongest survive.

But some of my friends feel very sorry for them and think that they deserve to have shelter and food instead of being out in the heat and with drug and sexual influences all around them.

What do you think?
