Is Van more or Less Sketchy than it was in 2000
Everyone i talk to says Van has seriously gone downhill in the last while...
Is this true? I was there 99-00 and it was somewhat sketchy but not that bad.. Now i hear the crackers and junkys are pretty much eveywhere.... |

I don't necessarily think their crackers, and junkies but ya I think its gone downhill for sure.
Their will always be druggies, but I find that since its alot easier in my mind to get certain drugs, and the cheapness of the drugs, more kids seem to be doing them. Its my opinion though |

4 years ago people who were bitching about how much better it was 4 years before then. Issues and priorities have changed but people will always bitch. But ya, drugs are on the rise. More people are using. |

As any city becomes more populated, the line between the rich and the poor becomes greater. There becomes more access to drugs. Vancouver goes through phases, and right now it's in the middle of a crystal meth epidemic which hopefully will pass soon.
However most of vancouver ( east side excluded ) is still safe to walk around. Compared to any US city of the same population, we have a third the crimerate. We also have very incompetent police however. The Vancouver Police Force solved currently 1/5 crimes, and still has over 60 missing women in the east side to deal with. |

heheheheh theres a reason i said just "buy a cap"..instead of "buy a cap of E" P.S i think vancouver is sgetting sketchier it seems like theres alot more guns around then there were a few eyars ago, even when we had all that gang shit going on 95-98 when lotus persian pride and all those crews were around there still wasnt as many shootings as you hear about now. i also dont buy that shit about a growing disparity between the rich abnd the poor cuz i see alot of people moving up in life with the economy the way it is..i guess your shit out of luck if you were a public servant or forestry worker tho Last edited by SEAN!; Jul 05, 04 at 01:21 PM. |
