I've said it before and I will say it again... never have I seen a 'tent city in a developed country other than in the states.
I don't think your welfare helps enough to be honest! Our taxes are RIDICULOUS. They're also cutting welfare left right and centre. And the rich are getting richer because of it. And the poor are living hand to mouth and suffering. There aren't enough jobs. There's multi generational unemployment and poverty. Its getting worse, and they're giving out less.
What saddens me is what we value as a successful society. Is wealth success??? Personally I'd rather see my government value health, homes and happiness as what is important. Looking after the people will generate money as a happy healthy stable workforce is going to do a lot more for you than one with major social problems.
