Reality in Vancouver

Will the coming of the 2010 Olympics finally cause people to do something to help the homeless in downtown Vancouver? It has been said that the number of homeless people in Vancouver will triple by 2010, that people are worrying about what the millions of visitors will think about Vancouver, and that something needs to be done. You can read about it here. I am interested to see what ideas are brought forth to "deal with" this issue. Will something actually be done to help people? Or will something be done to "sweep them under the rug"? I know there are some people and groups who have been trying to help the homeless for many years. Will they finally get support from the city of Vancouver and the provincial and federal governments
While I am happy that something might actually be done to really help the homeless in Vancouver, I find it sad that something might be done only to keep or improve the image of Vancouver. Saving the image, not the people. Good thing Someone else is concerned with saving the people.
