Harsha Walia from the Organization of Downtown Eastside Women's Power Group discusses the importance of the first 24-72 hours of tent city, a direct action to bring solutions to Vancouver's imminent housing crisis for the poor.
Mind giving us some kind of background on this? Or perhaps you'd like to regail us with tales of how all the tent city residents drive BMW's and secretly have an Armani suit hanging up in an alley somewhere. My Grandmother's computer's been on the fritz lately, so I've been missing my daily dose of counterfactual claptrap.
Interesting that 1/2 of the tents are empty and most of the DTES residents that are staying in the tents already have housing. Many of them have said that they just wanted a free tent!
And free cupcakes! Don't forget that.

Thanks in advance!
