There are children playing in Allan Gardens — a pleasant sight that had long disappeared from view.
Moms and nannies pushing prams without fear of a looming menace or having to sidestep needles underfoot. No annoying music assaults the eardrums from boomboxes. Nobody cooking meth or blatantly consuming a host of street drugs.
Dogs are being walked — and not the curs kept as pets by homeless people who may not have had a single other source of companionship in their hardscrabble lives.
The homeless are shifted elsewhere because they are a political asset to the likes of Chow.
They’ll crow about this success today and be demanding more funding a week later.
Rinse and repeat.
