Photo of RV community under SkyTrain has "Van" City abuzz

Hundreds of people comment on what it says about homelessness in Vancouver
RVs parked under Skytrain Vancouver
In such an expensive city as Vancouver, some people have set up home in RVs. It's not known who took this photo first posted on Reddit.

An interesting photo on Reddit’s r/Vancouver lit up the internet today.

It’s not clear who the original photographer was who shot this image of a number of RVs parked along what appears to be that stretch of road near Home Depot where Terminal turns into 1st Ave.

The title of the original post is “Housing Crisis putting van in Vancouver” and it’s generated a few hundred comments. They range from the type of snark you’d expect from a group of anonymous people chatting online to thoughtful dialogue about the state of real estate in Vancouver. There is some genuine compassion for the people forced to live in these vans, and some insight from people in the area. There’s also a whole lot of sass, so buckle in.

It’s worth wading through if you’ve got a few extra minutes. HERE.
