    A few days ago, I shared a photo of a homeless man sleeping beside a coffee shop in downtown Vancouver. My heart was heavy—not just for him, but for what this moment said about us. About our culture. Our indifference. Our failure to lead. Shortly after, a local critic on a neighborhood app tried to…
