WARNING Don't Enter This Hood In Vancouver BC, East Hastings Street. Canada! 🇨🇦 4K
This video is to raise awareness. There are many who think Vancouver B.C. is this shiny tourist destination, ever since the lockdown from the pandemic many issues beyond homelessness, addiction have risen as a result. And it's a very complex issue with many many layers, there is no one solution on how to remedy everything because you'd need more social housing, rehab centers, more mental health facilities, more ambulances, more police, you'd need more things like trauma centers for civilians who have run ins and altercations, there are so many things that stem from it.
When most people think of a “bad area” in Vancouver, they think about the Downtown Eastside (DTES), which roughly runs along East Hastings Street from Carrall Street to Clark Drive. This area has a high concentration of people struggling with homelessness and high levels of drug addiction and mental illness.
This area is one of the homeless hubs in town. Expect noise from the street people, and your stuff to be stolen if you’re not careful about it (not leaving anything tempting in your car, bringing your bike inside etc) and lots of noise from sirens. Sketchy interactions can be avoided by not engaging and being polite (with the street peeps).
