Although I applaud the donation, I'm skeptical of what will come of it.
In Canada, at all levels of government, every few years we see a new study being funded on how to end homelessness. Everyone cheers. Finally, someone is doing something! Then the study goes unnoticed, ignored, or is otherwise unactionable.
But no worries, because someone else will fund a study and we'll get to the bottom of it this time!
It's an endless cycle.
Maybe this will be different. It's not government afterall, it's private money. Maybe he'll take an approach similar to Bill Gates and actually do something about the problem he paid to study. It would be a pleasant surprise.
But for now? I'm taking a "wait and see" approach. Marc certainly goes out of his way to portray an image of a good man trying to use his wealth to accomplish good things. I'd really like to see some of that come to more than just P.R.
