A few people have sent me, or brought my attention to, photos taken in this spot, noting the irony of the sign. I decided to go myself and take a closer look. I'm out of words so I'll just leave this here.
[Photo is of an encampment east of downtown with a For Sale sign from the City of Edmonton with the words Affordable Housing at the top of the sign.]
