BURLINGTON, ON

So it has come to this.

A former member of Friends of Freeman Station sent this along to some of his colleagues. The photo is of the back of the station with the following text:

“Nice to see the city is taking good care of the Station and providing solutions for the housing crisis. You can see the tent. Washroom is just down the stairs to the left.”

This is totally unacceptable.

Is this a city solution to the housing crisis or is it total negligence on the part of the city?

City hall took charge of the station a number of years ago.
