“out of hand“ Vancouver’s Homelessness on East Hastings | Homeless Crisis on Downtown Eastside

Almost 2 months since a series of decampments on DTES by the City’s and VPD, costed City’s/taxpayers an arm and a leg, the Vancouver’s homeless issue did little improve or not much change. To my point of view, there are more people laying on the streets than before and the City’s crew can’t keep up with all the garbage or these guys keep littering more. Is Vancouver as “hell on earth” as Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre depicted? But don’t forget, BC recorded roughly 200 lives lost to toxic drugs per month. Please leave your comments how to solve this complex problem. The Downtown Eastside (DTES) is a neighbourhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. One of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods, the DTES is the site of a complex set of social issues including disproportionately high levels of drug use, homelessness, poverty, crime, mental illness and sex work. It is also known for its strong community resilience, history of social activism, and artistic contributions. #explorevancouvercanada Recorded on Sunday May 21 2023 at 8 00 AM
