In an online poll, the Citizen asked readers: Are you optimistic about the province's partnership with Prince George to combat homelessness?
Here are the results:
84 votes (7%) - Very optimistic (big problem needs big effort)
262 votes (22%) - Cautiously optimistic (no fast or easy fix)
130 votes (11%) - Mixed (it might help a bit but might not)
115 votes (10%) - Slightly pessimistic (too late and not enough)
584 votes (50%) - Very pessimistic (band-aid announcements no help at all)
There were 1,176 votes cast when the poll was on the website from June 19 to July 7.
