  It’s better than them freezing. Maybe we should find some way of helping them find shelter that isn’t those areas.

  It can be a bit uncomfortable especially if they have been drinking. But it would be cold-hearted for me to say they should be out in the cold. I notice that they cause aggravation to security guards; I don’t know that that should be their main duty.

  I have no problem with homeless people using anything to keep warm. But I think the city should be doing more. We need a lot more public housing and still we see very expensive condos going up every year.

  They don’t have any other option. The government should give them spaces to go.

  It’s OK depending on the situation. As long as they’re not interfering with people passing by.

  They need to live. A lot of people I see rely on government. At least give them a roof; but they should get these guys some work.
