After couple weeks of decamping in DTES by the City's and Cops, the problem remains the same s.h.i.t. except there is less sense of urine smells. These guys are rooted here for decades and have nowhere to go....dislocating them is not the solution for this complex complication.
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.

so many commentators have no idea how much they would end up like these people with no place to stay and no job. Once your body succumbs to malnutrition that you can't perform a shift for a job or maintain appearance and "working" people stop helping you and druggies rob you, you have nothing but struggling to cope or you commit suicide.
lovely words, pin it
You do know these people that you said many would end up just like this without any jobs don’t exist in so many parts of the world right? I mean this happens mostly in the West and third world countries. It happens even in developed western countries because people allow this nonsense liberal thinking that a bit of drugs are ok. NOT ok in many countries. You know where I live has ZERO tolerance to guns and drugs of any kind? This wanting to “experiment” doesn’t include drugs at all. Drugs aren’t widely available either. Of course people would want to experiment if they are widely available. Way too casual. Doing drugs here is equivalent of committing a murder here. This too casualness is exactly why most western countries have this problem. And corruption is rampant in North America. Anyone can be bribed. Do you think this nonsense exists here? And I don’t live in authoritarian country either. It’s G7 country. Those countries that imitate America would go down hill just like American liberal states with wokeism no doubt. You know why? They got no morals. They are too greedy. Imagine running a country without morals with top 1% of billionaires running the country without a care for their own people who are poor. Yeah they open up the damn southern “borders” letting these illegal aliens even though their own people are suffering. Can’t get more stupid than that. I despise Biden and I feel sorry for most Americans. This is why Canada should not imitate any American liberal nonsense wokeism and should boycott the woke movement. Seriously. I lived right in Vancouver for years. Not anymore. The city is dead.
So right, Kevin..and those judging Houseless/homeless for the drug use,etc. Good Gob! Could You( the judgers) cope with what they have and now experience! The lack of compassion or empathy from The Judgers is so depressing. ...
А кто их заставляет употреблять наркотики или пить алкоголь ? Я пойму если человек попал в беду, дом сгорел или ещё что. Но если он сам лезет в болото, зная чем это кончиться, мне таких не жалко.
so sad
thank you for posting this video. i watch these videos in hopes to catch a glimpse of my sister. I don't live on the west coast, but she has been on the streets of the DTES for 5 years.

it is like an open air mental institution
look bad but not as bad as institution.
This is worse than an institution by far
At least, if a good institution, managing with their patients their meds so they can function and they would be clean, warm, fed, and have a bed to sleep indoors. Out here, so many missing aspects for someone trying to keep sane. No home, rarely clean and healthy body, unsafety, bad sleep, substance use to numb their emotional suffering... nope, i feel this worse than an institution.
People has been wonted witnessing the bad condition. They think it is natural, never asked about who responsible for this chaos.
This is nothing compared to skidrow in LA

Which government would that be? Downtown east side has been this bad or worse for over 40 years. This is horrible, but not remotely new.

My family recently went to Vancouver for a week. One afternoon, after parking the car, we planned to walk to Chinatown for dinner. However, halfway there, we were scared off by the scene and decided not to go anymore. It was just too terrifying.
The so-called democracies are hypocrites, they do not care their own people but other nations, bomb the other nations as they want, that is really terrifying, the western world has faded and bankruptured.
Chinatown for dinner, go to Richmond, most of Chinese merchants moved there. Vancouver is still nice if you try to skip this section on Hastings.
Wow sad for businesses
Why wouldn’t you just grab a cab???? DUH!!!!!
super naive - these people could care less about a tourist. they are all too far gone. unfortunate truth. i have seen it this spring - a ton of families from around the world looking absolutely terrified in the DTES/hastings. rightfully so, but as someone living in the GVRD - mind your own and there (i haven't had any) will never be an issue.
I moved from Vancouver in 1995..so very sad to see it like this 😔
Sad to see something like this but you know, sometimes it looks worse. City's crew regularly clean up the streets and sidewalks plus the volunteers.
Not a decline, more like unbalanced economy per individual. Canada still best country in the world just some people can't keep up
Skid row was worse then .

Here in Africa, we were told how good western (capitalists countries) are through radios, newspapers and above all movies. On the other hand we were made to believe that Russia and China are both bad and poor.

I got the hell out of there in 99. Friends were getting into the junk and I got on a train back to Toronto with 25 dollars in my pocket. ran out of food by thunder bay, it was worth the hunger to leave.
Wow great adventure. BUT at least you got out of E Hastings street. After 20 yrs, DTES has rapidly changed
I took the bus to Renfrew once from middle of B.C, before I went I think I put a couple boxes of granola bars in my bag just in case.

I feel sorry for the dogs.
woof woof woof
Me too. They don't deserve to live like this. They need proper homes with responsible people

I encourage all homeless to call City hall to ask them to surrender their homes for you who hired them

I went to Vancouver more than 5 times to see my relative who lives near downtown. According to him, this area has been horrible, but is safer than 10 years ago.
I know that there are many Chinese from Hong Kong and Chinese from Taiwan who have naturalised as Canadians , well it is a big mistake to go and live in an insecure country with lots of misery .
honestly wild to see, its sad to see our country decay and its only moving faster downhill. I don't know what needs to be done, but everyone needs a change, housing prices are crazy, wages are low, inflation, and greed.
Nothing much that could change or solve this issue. As you said everything is crazy expensive in Vancouver.
..what to do? Stop using drugs. Those homeless are using drugs.
@@dianem7677 According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) 2019 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR), 38.7% of single individuals experiencing homelessness in the United States reported having a substance use disorder.
I grew up here, hard to imagine that now 😢
Everything rapidly changed in the last decade
Me too....I remember going to the old Vancouver museum when it was in the old Carnegie Library...I moved away for good in the 90's.
I used to work at Savon meets downtown from 1986 till 1986 and it was never this bad
Its makes me angry, sad and sick that people cannot afford decent housing. I work my ass off, always have and I struggle hard. I have a good vehicle thats paid off, debt under 5k and struggle to make ends meet while renting an old, outdated, 2 bedroom apt. I bring home 2900-3000k per month and my rent is known as cheap where I live, at 1640 per month (avg 2 bd is 2200). I am paying more than half my fkg wage on rent. If I was paying the average, I would be screwed. I dont want a hand out... I want a well deserved break.
Vancouver is very expensive (most in the country) in gasoline and housing. Maybe later I will end up on the street like these guys.

I used to have a pharmacy in this area 20 yrs ago but had to moved as I got burglarized an rob all time. The people at time was chatty and not too bad. .Now that things are cleared ,having the side walk smaller will prevents build up of tents. we need area where we can set temporary container furnished homes until proper house can be found
The container housing was tried in Abbotsford, it did not work, instead the junkies destroy the inside and used them to release themselves, there was trash all over and they urinated and pooped inside. These people think society is responsible for them and life is one big party. The mental illness is caused by the drugs they take.
Thanks Anna for all your beautiful words...EXACTLY what it is. One thing I see the difference is the street/sidewalks are cleaned and less smelly.
Was there in 1996. Canada is a beautiful country and the people ❤. Visited vancouver beautiful place. Really so sad to see it like this.

Nice walking tour with beautiful place Greatting from Macau
Which is worse: the homeless camps on sidewalks or all of the boarded up offices and shops they are next to?
nothing good at all, but there is no choice
What is your point? It seems to me you're trying to compare the bad economy with homeless people. Which is worse? If you don't know you're one of the people that do not understand the meaning of compassion. Listen to Steve Jobs public speech just before he died. A billionaire but cancer got him and all his money couldn't make him well. And he finally figured it out.
those buildings owners are still paying taxes...for whatever the heck they are doing. that part of the city has been that way since I was young ...darn near 40+ years it isn’t any cover up. and it isn’t anything legitimate.
You need to walk the lanes to see the true horror!

Hi everyone I hope you're doing great.
Tough social problems need tough measures. But when a society / government is too liberal, this is what you get.
Very good reasoning, sounds like my old philosophy prof.
Myślę, że taki stan rzeczy to w większości wina systemu a nie ludzi, bo nikt przy zdrowych zmysłach nie chciałby znaleźć się na ulicy, szczególnie, że w tym kraju jest zimno i lata są krótkie!!! Wszędzie są bezdomni, ale w krajach rozwiniętych nie w takiej ilości i nie zajmują całych ulic i kwartałów!!! Podobno Kanada jako pierwsza wprowadza wolną sprzedaż narkotyków, to dopiero teraz się zacznie!!!
Tak wygląda prawdziwa wilcza morda kapitalizmu.
It's not the first, Amsterdam has been doing this for years, the crazy thing is , the crime rate, murder , o.d rate is minimal compared to USA or Canada, and I think it is the people fault, I battled addiction for years , untill I was strong enough in my head to quit the shit! If your not strong enough, you can't go blaming the government, but ya its f'd up that they just condone this behavior
Gratuluję, że wyszedłeś z nałogu, ale pozostanę przy swoim zdaniu, że system gospodarczy stworzony przez rządzących jest współwinny tej całej sytuacji. Młodym ludziom rzuca się kłody pod nogi, utrudniając im start życiowy, przepisywanie przez lekarzy opioidów, każda poważniejsza choroba w rodzinie to wielki problem, z którym nie każdy sobie radzi, utrata pracy w podeszłym wieku i stąd te tabuny bezdomnych na ulicach bogatych miast amerykańskich i kanadyjskich.
Chodziłem tymi ulicami Vancouver z aparatem fotograficznym przez kilka miesięcy, wiem, że w tym rejonie świata bezdomni trzymają się w grupach, okupują rejon miasta, u nas w Polsce nie skupiają się raczej w większych grupach, stąd wrażenie problemu na ogromną skalę. Wina systemu? Największy banał na świecie, strasznie infantylne generalizowanie, które przypomina mi wybory Miss Świata i wypowiedzi, że "gdybym miała jedno życzenie, to żeby nie było wojen".
Nie jest wina ludzi? Rozumiem, że gdybyś była np. deweloperem, to chciałabyś utrzymać ceny mieszkań przez dekady w mieście, które z jednej strony ograniczone jest zatoką, z drugiej górami i lasami? Pewnie wzrost cen mieszkań o 500% by Cię nie cieszył, gdybyś ich miała kilkanaście/kilkadziesiąt w rotacji? Wynajmujesz swoje pomieszczenia studentom za jakieś marne grosze, żeby było im łatwiej startować? Zatrudniasz osoby po 60 roku życia i szkolisz je z systemów komputerowych, które wszędzie są inne?
Gdybyś była lekarzem, to prócz praktyki prywatnej byś się udzielała w darmowej poradni? Wyobraź sobie, że w Kanadzie często lekarze tak działają, znasz takiego kogoś w Polsce? Wymień mi prywatnego lekarza, który przez chociaż jeden weekend przyjmuje za darmo biednych ludzi bez ubezpieczenia.
Gdybyś pracowała w farmacji, szukałabyś rozwiązań na większą regulację substancji, recept, stanów magazynowych, generując wielokrotnie wyższe koszty w firmie? Bo w Polsce tak jest? Wiesz, że przed covidem w Polsce nie było leków dla chorych na choroby płucne? Magazyny wyczyszczone przez mafię farmaceutyczną. Leków do chemioterapii też nie ma od lat, lub są przestarzałe. Gdybyś miała z tego kilka milionów za zamknięcie przysłowiowej japy, to na pewno siedziałabyś na YT i myślała jak zmienić "system". Śmiech na sali z takim generalizowaniem.
Na stronie naszej kochanej policji w bazie osób poszukiwanych jest 43117 pozycji, to populacja Otwocka, Ciechanowa, Kutna, Mińska Mazowieckiego. A teraz pomyśl ile z tych osób możesz mijać i jaki "system" jest u nas? 50 tysięcy poszukiwanych w stosunkowo niewielkim i gęstym w miastach, kraju... Tak zadbanym przez tych uczciwych i empatycznych na górze.
A teraz, niech Pani pokaże jakim jest człowiekiem i co robi dla młodych bez perspektyw, jak funkcjonuje w systemie, czy dzieli się tym, co ma, zrobi zakupy komuś biednemu, kto wyciąga rękę prosząc o pomoc?

Always heard Vancouver was beautiful.... Years ago
Yes it was and it is now except this strip
I just watched a video from a channel called "This Guys Garage" about government and NGO'S operating overseas to providing humanitarian aid to foreign countries and these people here in our home country are living in squalor and in desperation. The willful blindness of some of our politicians is astounding and says a lot about what kind of people they are. The Bible talks about the sin of omission and neglecting to care for your family. These people are our family too.
yeh, many said they turn a blind eye. sad to see these guys like this
You can't help people who are drug junkies.Jesus also said "Don't waste pearls on pigs." The government should round them up and put them in work camps. Get them detoxed. I support many charities abroad for people who had misfortune of war, or live in third world countries who need help moving ahead. So I support among others 4 kids going to school in third world countries. But I have no use for people who are too lazy to work in a country where you can get a job anywhere.
Ужас. Бездомные валяются на улице. Грязь.
I used to live nearby actually for a few months. Right near the corner of the intersection between Union Street and Main Street. Often I walked up this way to get to Gastown and seeing what I witnessed as I do here in this video shocked me. A man told me one evening that he used to live under the bridge near my living area for the best part of 20 years. I couldn't believe it. He thinks that this community is practically holed up and kept where they are today because the police don't want them to branch out into other areas. Now I could be completely wrong, but in all honesty, because this was a man who suffered greatly for so long living near this area, I'd be inclined to believe him.
Vancouver is like the Roman god Janus. It has beauty, but matched in parts by the horrors from within.
I have the same thought as that man lived under the bridge. City's and cops want to keep these guys under controlled perimeter. If they wander/camp outside this hood, cops shall come or ask them to leave or move away.
The contradicts the sweep they did a month ago though, doesn't it?
Хорошо жить не запретишь.
Przerażający widok.Jak można doprowadzić się do takiego stanu. Upadek człowieczeństwa. Kanada - "mlekiem i miodem płynąca". 😲
But what I see now is that homelessness is happening all over the world more and more. I truly believe we have reached the point of no return. The rich and powerful people and companies in the world will not put an end to this insanity. If you believe in a higher power in this universe, call on it, him, or her. We need it.
The world that we live in, changes rapidly. Look at the energy and food sections....crazily high/expensive.

Went to Chinatown of Vancouver the day before yesterday, saw this too...really sad. I just don't understand how there can be so many homeless people in Vancouver. Canada is a country known for its generous social welfare programs, in Toronto where I lived here for two years, things looks the same...
With an incompetent government running the country. Wiping out the middle class and relentless rise on cost of living. For a couple who makes over 150k a year before taxes living very modestly in Richmond. I am telling you, we are not living comfortably. We ain't struggling but by no means having the extra $$ to do things we want. Just imagine how minimum wage people live. I don't think it's doable to make minimum wage and put a roof over their head.
Yes Vancouver and Toronto are almost the same. in Toronto, they scatter but in Vancouver they gather. Thank you thebomb for your reply. I am living in pay cheque by pay cheque and slowly down into a deep hole. Even today I am unable to pay the year end TAX.
The west wants to destroy itself.

shame on us
Covid polarized, nothing wrong/conspiracy vs prevention, wear your mask, etc. Politics polarize (esp. 2 party choices). News broadcasts polarize: fake and/or biased vs informative/truthful. Racial polarization White vs Non-white. And so many examples.. Us vs Them. Empathy and compassion eroded to Selfishness and other ugly human natures. Who ever said, I paraphrase, Look at how a community takes care of their vulnerable members and much will be revealed.....
So shameful…so sad. It looks like in Bay Area in California.
Shameful but a bit better than Wood street
Not only in Bay Area, Chicago, LA, Portland. Detroit, Philadelphia, New York… many many major cities in United States and Australia, Europe…

When I lived in Vancouver over 10 years ago, I had to cut through this area of the city to get from a football pitch to the metro stop. It was without a doubt the scariest 4 or 5 blocks I ever walked. I went the long way around every time after that.
They don't bother anyone, man. Just walk by to see what real life is.
This area of Vancouver is skid row and has been like this since I can remember back to the 70s .
This didn’t just happen 5 years ago.
Its ALWAYS been full of drugs, drunks , junkies, stabbings, robberies, thefts etc etc.
Further back than the 70's and nothing was done about it. European countries ie. Netherlands, Switzerland dealt with the same problems. AT LEAST FORTY YEARS AGO. But Canada has too many judgmental large "C" Christians who just want these people to magically disappear without spending a cent. And where are the billionaires? Two or three together with mental health and addiction specialists could put paid to this problem
and give these people a better and healthier life. Most Canadians would not allow animals to live like this. But these "sickos" don't deserve a hand up according to the majority of people. Shameful !!
I came to Vancouver in 86, there was nothing comparing to this. This area was full of Chinese and tourists, sometimes one or two drunks(maybe drugs)was on the bus bench.
@@suefrench8721 There is help for those who seek it, Sue. The problem with opiate addiction is that the body becomes dependent on the dope for its dopamine supply, which occurs naturally otherwise. There is no feeling "okay" without dopamine. Now throw the life-threatening & agonizing withdrawal symptoms into the picture, and you should see why the solution isn't as simple as you make it out to be. An "addiction specialist" may lead a horse to water but can't make him drink.
Need mental health asylum and rehab centers, but most of all, we need to work on "Prevention." There are too many ways ppl end up there too easily !
There are shelter, rehab, etc but it's a complex issue
yeah because these drug addicts really want to go to rehab and give up the only thing that makes them happy.
@@thecanadakid7622 yeah, we need forced rehad centres . . . and insane assylums for those who never come back from brain rot. I heard Alberta is working on it. Maybe in a few years time the libs will learn from the success.
Its now legal to carry a few grams of heroin for personal use in canada.
I was homeless in East Van. Had some good times met some good people. Also had bad times with bad people but that's how it goes. You gotta be smart and realize at the end of the day nearly everyone is out for themselves and understand that's just how it is on the streets. Keep a few solid people around you. You gotta offer a service if you don't you won't make it cause you gotta rely on those making their own moves and they wont want to babysit you. Best of luck to everyone still there
so sad for them my friend. hope they will be fine soon.
Sad and shameful for us, they are struggling in some how
drugs are bad
drugs are made to treat sick people, right?

Vancouver used to be a beautiful city. Not any more. Stay away.
it still is, just avoid Downtown East side , this side of a city is a hell hole and has been for the past 10 years , Vancouver DTES is no different than Portland, Seatlle, San Francisco and Los Angles, basically all the north american West coast big cities are dealing with this issue
Still a beautiful city except walking into this neighbourhood
Is this one of the G7 Country?
Presidents and Prime Ministers don't know this
Да, по словам Бореля, это ваш цветущий сад, мы лучше в своих джунглях посидим😂
There will always be homelessness but I swear after Covid it has gotten worse also crimes. Lots of people mental has went down and spiral into addiction.
Prayer 🙏
Viruses don't kill them, drugs always do.
God bless. Jesus saves.
What a beautiful picture i want to go there please canada 🍁 canada
Not only vancouver , america's other cities with aswell your can meet to this view . America's a lots regions aswell homeless there are .😢
North America Metropolitan cities
Even the active ppl looked like zombies.
every 4 years, politicians tell us they are the best to run this country and we vote them. but they take care of the world not our own country.
I have a solution to the garbage issue. Once a week the city should offer $5 for every bag of garbage picked up. Only homeless need apply.
They tried doing that with plastic water bottle recycling, Ppl start buying cases just to empty them and return for $$ - the same would happen for trash, creating it to get the $$ or just talking out of already collected bins.
These guys rather have a nice conversation with you instead of taking 5 bucks.
So I collect 10 fkg bags of garbage and you only pay me 50 bucks? No thanks. Your idea sucks, only good for those who like to buy the odd bag of crack.
Ребята , ну вы докатились до ручки 😢
Why would anyone want to go there just to look! It’s so sad and very scary!
адское местечко
Toda cidade tem o seu lado sombrio 😢. Os últimos sempre serão os últimos.
НЕ У КАЖДОГО!!! ВЕЗДЕ, ГДЕ Я БЫВАЛ В РОССИИ НИЧЕГО ПОДОБНОГО НЕ БЫЛО!!! ПОСЛЕ ПРОСМОТРА ЭТОГО КОШМАРА ЕДИНСТВЕННОЕ ОЩУЩЕНИЕ - Я ЖИВУ В РАЮ!!!
，beautiful scenery
is that guy at 4:12 named tarin?
Anyone know this guy? Please reply.
There's a lot of elderly homelessness
Very hard to guess their ages.
Sadly drugs are everywhere 😢
That's right.
It's not just drugs, it's mental illness as well. The mentally ill people were turned out of provincial hospitals and left to fend on their own. UNTREATED. TO SAVE MONEY. That happened in the '60's. I don't expect anything to be done about this problem. People have become so self-centered and greedy that few will identify this as a problem needing to be addressed. As far as Vancouver goes, the problem could be partially addressed by building 2 or 3 rehabilitation treatment buildings in Richmond, where hundreds of thousands of people brought questionably sourced money with them to get landed immigrant status in Canada before Hong Kong returned to China. The Canadian government asked no questions about whether the millions brought to Canada were clean/dirty money (proceeds of crime). In light of the casino hearings, we saw that hockey bags full of $20 and $100 bills were cashed into the River Rock Casino in Richmond (money laundering?).
Money has to be spent on beefing up the money laundering and proceeds of crime legislation. In the late '70's Federal legislation was enacted allowing, amongst other things, seizure of property attained by crime. In BC the feds left millions on the table by not applying for seizure of the dirty property, real or personal. Then BC enacted laws that gave them authority to seize real and personal proceeds properties. These were civil, not criminal, seizures and the proof was easier to obtain. Instead of the onus of "beyond a reasonable doubt" as with criminal cases, the Crown only had to prove "on a balance of probabilities" that the seized property was paid for by the proceeds of crime. In Vancouver, the federal justice department seemed to lack interest in seizures of proceeds of crime and the provincial government seized and had forfeited the property to the provincial government. The lack of interest on the feds part was never explained to me.
Surely if Richmond residents don't mind living in a place with a high earthquake risk, they will take the 'risk ' of providing care for mental health sufferers and drug addicts to get their lives and health back. And not just Asian people but all BC people.
Moved from Vancouver in '93. Even then, there were times when "I shouldn't be here" was a thought that crossed my mind. Been in Hong Kong and China for 30 years, and have never, regardless of the city or time of day, felt as unsafe as I might during Welfare Wednesday in East Hastings. Now it seems that it's no longer restricted to every second Wednesday. So sad to see.
You left Vancouver's Chinatown during economic bloom, Now you come back seeing depression.
Hong Kong and China would Never put up with these scum!
Lookin at them , most of them are high or something???
We all know but what can we do?
Race across the world in Canada is being shown in the UK at the moment. Everyone thinks Canada is the most perfect country in the world because of that show. They aren't showing this.
Please don't pick one or two and make a conclusion as a whole.
This is one small section of Vancouver. Canada is huge, and 99.9% of it is not like this.
Similar to the US San Francisco. Same same same.
very similar
A complex and distressing problem. I would like to see the subject of personal economics taught from primary school onwards. My family and school always warned me of the dangers of wasting money and it is an important, if difficult, lesson to learn. From the moment you leave home, the bills come at you from all sides. That's my view, I am not sure if anyone will take any notice.
good comment bud. Always learn from the beginning.
