In reply to Charlene Ross.

What seems to be more troubling than costs is simply whether or not the bylaw is even effective. In Vancouver the results seem to be up for debate. Regardless, I'll be interested to see what the Beyond Homelessness Committee comes up with.
Incidentally, they have a section on the city website (http://princegeorge.ca/cityhall/committees/beyondhomelessness/pages/default.aspx), but there is nothing posted there. Hopefully that changes soon.
