I want to talk for several tweets about this slide from Gord Tanner @cityoftoronto at yesterday's hearing. And about @JohnTory's false assertion today that there are only about 400 people living outdoors in T.O. @dmrider @CBCLorenda @cathyacrowe @cllrainslie @shelleycarroll 1/ 
Let's start with the very most basic FACT (as Mary Anne Bedard kept saying yesterday, in a verbal tick repeated often by deputants to poke fun):

To say that there are 400+ tents in parks & transportation right of ways right now but only 400 people living outdoor is risible. 2/
For starters, assuming just 1, or less than 1 person per tent (or similar structure) doesn't work. We'll get to why in a moment. But that also then assumes no one else is homeless and sleeping w/o tent, on grates, in construction sites, doorways, parking garages, TTC cars etc. 3/
