If you do, make sure you don’t pay anyone for the privilege because, if you do, he will be fined and you will be kicked out.
From here:
A B.C. woman has been fined $500 for renting out a garden shed to a homeless couple and their three dogs.
A power cord that ran from the woman’s house in Kelowna, B.C., supplied electricity to the small metal building, for which she was charging rent of $200 per month.
It’s not clear how long the people and pets had been living in the shed. Bylaw officers warned the owner two weeks ago it was not suitable accommodation, but the advice was ignored, said city spokesman Stephen Fleming.
The mistake the homeless couple and their dogs made was they weren’t making a political statement. Had they been occupying the shed illegally and put up a sign to the effect that they were the 99%, no-one would have touched them, Anglican clergy would have preached sermons about them and celebrities would have paid them a visit for a photo-op.
Lacking that foresight, they are now not only homeless but shedless – although the Kelowna Gospel Mission has generously offered them a place at its shelter.
Seems pretty cheesy to charge $200 for a garden shed.
You surely aren’t implying that it is moral to charge homeless people for the privilege of living in a metal shed? Seriously?
Certainly I am. What is not moral is the city kicking them out:
First, if Bethlehem had been run by the current Kelowna regime, Christ would have been born under the stars and not in a stable.
Secondly, if you espouse a radical leftist cause and occupy valuable public land, authorities leave you alone.
Thirdly, what do you think happened to the dogs when they had to go into the Kelowna Gospel Mission?
So if I understand this correctly the City kicked them out of a shed which these people had agreed to live in, but did nothing to provide nor guide them to any other place to live. So does that mean that the socialists that are so determined to control us have decided that it is better to have nowhere to sleep than to have a shed?
And who is it that does anything to help these people? The Christians at the Kelowna Gospel Mission, that’s who. But I wait with baited breath for the anti-thiest to come out now and find something to critisize the KGM about. After all, those who would take God away from all of us can’t stand it when God motivates us to be kind to each other.
