Re: Re: Developments in Cork

The scope of solving homelessness is outside a forum that is primarily aimed at architecture and planning. However, a suggestion that having a concentrated population of homeless people can bring its own social problems and that it’s better to have the population dispersed does broadly fit within that scope.

As regards homelessness, there are two things to be discussed. One is how to minimise (I am yet to hear of a society that has actually eliminated it) the levels and the other is how to deal with its consequences. Discussion of the latter does not mean that the former does not need addressing.
