Your use of the definite article is mononormative and not inclusive language and more importantly such false presumptions of uniqueness stunt the very creativity you claim. In your wildest dreams, could there be two or three real problems, which are interlinked? Is it possible that authoritarianism makes homelessness worse? Be sure to review https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/descriptions/ on the correct use of the definite article.. Removing false presumptions of uniqueness produces more creative thinking, and prevents your false binary in the implicit question "WHich is the real problem? Homelessness or violence?" It's a dumb implicit question and it stems from monormative thinking. Also review David Lewis on singular causal statements: "Singular causal statements" - Google Scholar
The issue is homelessness.Homelessness is completely solved by adopting “housing first and harm reduction” policies.You, Adam Golding, are trapped in the past.
Actually I provided you with a source of current arguments in the media from a range of other people, and you engaged in ad hominem attacks instead of any of
a. denying the premise of one of the arguments b. deying the inference made in one of the arguments c. providing independent counterargument against one of the arguments' conclusions
This wouldn't pass muster in a 200-level course at UofT, Pierre--I give your paper a D-: your responses were not completely lacking all structure but ignored all research materials provided out of sheer laziness. I suggest not embarrassing yourself with further fallacies of relevance, as they produce true drivel: Fallacies of Relevance (philosophypages.com)
It may help if you formalize arguments in parallel to saying them in English, to check for bugs--why else did Frege invent formal logic? There are also many software tools to construct an Argument map - Wikipedia and we may wish to use something like
You have merely shown you reply impulsively without deep reading or any comprehension of hyperlinked content. For poor impulse control I recommend apps like these: https://www.othership.us/resources/best-pranayama-apps This is lesson one for all music students in my practice. -- adamgolding.ca On Sun, 25 Sept 2022 at 09:15, Pierre Therrien <pierre1119@gmail.com> wrote:

I have learned a lot more than counting, Adam Golding. I have learned how to solve my problems, which I can assure you I am quite good at. You offer no solutions for the homeless crisis other than whining about some poor city manager. The homelessness problem in Toronto is easily solved by applying the correct theory funded fully. Get a grip on yourself, and figure out how to solve our problems rather than blaming everyone around you.
You should learn to count Pierre, because count a lot more policies than that in platform.adamgolding.ca and Program — Municipal Socialist Alliance -- and part of solving housing is to defund the stick and fund the carrot, hence the alliance's defund by 50% platform -- defunding the police includes getting former police like Cook and Burnside OUT of the City Manager's office, otherwise we will continue to see an authoritarian approach to managing our city. Unacceptable. If former police direct police, no one is directing police. And of course, the Mayor pretends he has nothing to do with it... let me know if you disagree with a specific argument in favor of firing Tracey Cook in the mayoral debate and please provide the timestamp:
The problems with homelessness in Toronto are a FAILURE to produce a practical political vision to eliminate our problems. You are no exception, Adam Golding. You have zero political vision that might fix our problems. Pierre
