If true, the troubling part for me is this sentence from the article: > He’s since deleted the post, and seems to have spent a better part of the last few years trying to understand and ameliorate the issues of homelessness and mental health in the city. Basically, it sounds like he said something wrong (awful, even) years ago, recognized it as a problem (sure, perhaps after being told it was), and has spent most of the time since then working to gain a better understanding to avoid repeating that sort of statement. To me, that sounds like a good thing. Unless there's more to the story, I'd expect he'd be less likely to cause the same (/related) problem again than most other people.
