Terrible situation that’s being allowed to happen , the death rate and age expectancy of these people would be horrific if studied properly, it’s a plan of someone’s to blatantly thin our numbers , it’s brutal that people in charge are allowing this to unfold .
I used to go shopping on Hastings in late 80s early 90s, I moved to kits from Europe and I bought all my stuff at army and navy, I loved that area so much. Now, I watch my good memories through this video and feel extremely saddened by it and by what our government hasn’t done anything that they promised many times over. 😢
This is sad to read. I heard about how rough East side was as a kid and I grew up in Texas. My uncle who lives in Vancouver told me it has been a rough area well before the 80’s, however it definitely hit a hard decline appears to have reached a beyond crisis point by the late-90s. From what I understand, it followed the same trajectory as Skid Row in LA and moved from primarily alcoholism in the earlier years to harder drugs and it didn’t help that they closed down mental health institutions like they did in the US. It’s just sad. I can’t imagine what it’s like to have seen it close up in comparison.
@@sarbantz Get real. If you offered love but no money, food, or drugs then they'd probably smack you in the face when they realize you're offering the one thing they don't want.

It’s truly hard bro when minimum wage is what 16-17 an hour and cost for a one bedroom apartment is on average about 1400 a month. Your entire months wage might pay for that one bedroom, but then nothing left for food. You must be so privileged to say what you did. God bless you.

And there was a point in the life of every one of these zombies when they thought, "Yeah, I know this might destroy my life, my health, even put my Mother in an early grave, but f*#k her, I think it will be great to get high with my friends." Drug addiction is not a disease. It is a self-inflicted would people choose to suffer.
I'd have thought that at some point such desperate generalizations would become embarrassing to knowingly maintain. Guess there's no upper limit to what people can confront in the mirror if the alternative is to face their own character bankruptcy and lack of empathy. I'll bet you'd raise hell though if you saw a dog in the video going hungry, right?
@@HerrinSchadenfreude Empathy? Why should I empathize with people who think getting high is the most important thing on the planet? And since 20,000 children starve to death on this planet every day, why would I care if a dog is hungry? You keep being the happy enabler for people who choose to destroy their life with drugs. I will step over them in the street and let them starve because that is what they have earned.
" Drug addiction is not a disease. It is a self-inflicted would people choose to suffer." It's induced by social despair. It's a symptom, not the cause.
@@truthadvocacy Nope. Lack of character is the cause. Social despair? "Boo hoo hoo, I can't make it, I'm not happy, I'm lonely, so I'm going to make my life 1,000 times worse by using drugs." See, lack of character.
I am not sure if you are aware the winters in Vancouver are mild and essentially snow free. That's why they're there! Of course, it's still winter. But it does not have death cold temperatures like it has in the rest of Canada and North USA! The temperature is consistently above freezing (rarely falls below freezing) - not even at night!
@@mathematicaleconomist4943 "I am not sure if you are aware the winters in Vancouver are mild and essentially snow free."😂 Snow free doesn't mean, not cold. Vancouver has winter temperatures around 45° F, and colder at night. Though rare, a blizzard hit Vancouver last winter!
@@truthadvocacy Well...I was simply making sure he (or she) understood it was not DEADLY cold like most cities north of the Mason/Dixon line. Let's use an example. The homeless are much better off in Vancouver than many southern cities! For example, it is much more desirable being homeless in Vancouver than Nashville. The winter nights are MUCH milder in Vancouver than they are in Nashville. That's just one example!
Vancouver is so humid, I felt colder in winter there than I ever did in Winnipeg --- yet Winnipeg is the place that's famous for being so cold! Go figure...
I got bear sprayed near gas town not too long ago from a junkie , I was walking to get a bus I had a good few drinks on me so I’d say they were watching me and some junkie grabbed my phone out of my hand when I turned around and punched him he had already sprayed me and absolutely everything was taken from me and of course the police didn’t give a shit their exact words were “if it’s down there it’s as good as gone” great help 👍
There is a way to fix this but the government and law enforcement have to work together to fix it. In the old days they had road camps for people who committed small infarctions of the law. The law breakers were picked up and taken to these road camps time and again until most come out of it some still die at it but most are helped back into society. Out side of the cities they use to have like Army barracks to sleep in and get out of the weather. They were detained on small infractions even for jay walking, drug abuse, vagrancy, drunk disturbing the peace, etc and placed them into these places for any where from 4 months to a year .The inmates then were forced to grow gardens for the kitchen and raise cows and goats for their milk and chickens for food. Others who behaved their selves were allowed to get out on work furloe's to come back at night and pay a bigger portion of their wages unto the detention center to help cover the costs. Some of the people who could would be taken out in groups of 11 or so and had to clean the road sides and other meaningful chores until time served. It worked. There has always been this kind of homelessness back in the 1940's through the 1970's they were gathered up as ordinary law breakers. It worked because people get clean and start seeing a better way and the government care centers would help them to get jobs even jobs invented by the government for this cause. All worked eventually or go back to road camp no drugs allowed. The cost is not as bad or much as you would think. Right now the government officials are only looking after self if they would just implement this, things would change to the good like before.
How about just throwing the top few layers of the local drug pushing cartels in jail and as penance they have to go sweep those streets, do the laundry and cook for those poor souls for 8 hours a day for the rest of their miserable lives? Now that's justice.

5:31...just say no to crack. On reflection.....if the mentally ill had not been tossed to the wolves by the closing of Riverview, just think of what could have been saved in both lives and all of the dollars this has cost the entire lower mainland over the years since.
Some are mentally ill but most are likely relatively undisturbed. If you mix the most addictive opiates with tranquilizers, you can turn anyone into a zombie. I have no doubt if I tried the tranq thing a few times, I'd look like just one of these people.

Нужно адекватно оценивать ситуацию. Социальное неравненство, бедность и богатство были всегда с начала времен человеческой истории. Но, в каждый период истории они немного отличались. Период 1930-х-1980-х был одним из лучших в истории США для большинства населения, в 50-х годах прошлого века, считают многие американцы, «Америка была настоящей Америкой». "Золотое время было", потому что страна была индустриально развитой впоследствии чего рабочий и средний клас набирали силу. Если коротко описать то им доставался большой кусок общественного пирога. В 80-е ситуация изменилась. Наступает период неолиберализма ( тэтчеризм, рейганомика). Его черты это приватизация, уменьшение государственных расходов, увеличение роли частного сектора и неограниченная свободная торговля). Аналогичные процессы начинаются во всем мире (усиление финансового, технологического секторов и упадок промышленного) . Падают доходы 80-90% населения (сюда входят менеджеры среднего уровня, преподаватели в обычных школах, строители, механики, водители, парикмакеры) растут доходы 1-10% населения ( владельцы крупного капитала и их обслуга ( юристы, економисты, топ-менеджера, аналитики, консультанты, банкиры, IT.). Вместе с разрывом в благосостоянии растёт и стоимость жилья, повышается общая стоимость жизни ( растут цены на продовольствие, сфера услуг (медицина, образование), комунальные услуги, энергоносители, транспорт). Многие представители рабочего и нижнего среднего классов испытывают огромные сложности с арендой, не говоря уже о покупке своего жилья и всемя вышеперечисленными расходами не только в Ванкувере, Северной Америке, но и в других в том числе развитых странах. Что касается США, то особые контрасты и социальные противоречия (потому что вместе с бедностью, бездомностью, преступностью, в этих регионах можна наблюдать шикарные пригороды утопающие в зелени с роскошными особняками с бассейнами, теннисными кортами и вертолётными площадками, полями для гольфа, анклавы с самой высокой стоимостью жилья в мире (возьмите например "Ряд миллиардеров" на Манхэттене южнее Центрального парка, где цены за единицу недвижимости доходят до 250 млн$), в этих регионах находятся лучшие высшие учебные заведения мира (Стэнфорд, Бэркли, МІТ, Гарвард, Йель, Принстон) особые контрасты и социальные противоречия можно наблюдать на технологичном западном побережье США (Калифорния), символом которого является Кремниевая долина, где находятся штаб-квартиры технологических монополистов мирового масштаба (Apple, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft) и финансовом восточном (мегалополис Босваш), символом которого является Уолл-стрит и где находятся штаб-квартиры финансовых монополистов также мирового масштаба ( Black rock, Fidelity, State Street, Vanguard, J.P Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley).

Very good! Agreed!
It’s truly hard bro when minimum wage is what 16-17 an hour and cost for a one bedroom apartment is on average about 1400 a month. Your entire months wage might pay for that one bedroom, but then nothing left for food. You must be so privileged to say what you did. God bless you.

And there was a point in the life of every one of these zombies when they thought, "Yeah, I know this might destroy my life, my health, even put my Mother in an early grave, but f*#k her, I think it will be great to get high with my friends." Drug addiction is not a disease. It is a self-inflicted would people choose to suffer.
In total agreement with your point of view.... if the world was to suddenly "lose" all of these deadbeats..... nobody would miss them for long.
I'd have thought that at some point such desperate generalizations would become embarrassing to knowingly maintain. Guess there's no upper limit to what people can confront in the mirror if the alternative is to face their own character bankruptcy and lack of empathy. I'll bet you'd raise hell though if you saw a dog in the video going hungry, right?
@@HerrinSchadenfreude Empathy? Why should I empathize with people who think getting high is the most important thing on the planet? And since 20,000 children starve to death on this planet every day, why would I care if a dog is hungry? You keep being the happy enabler for people who choose to destroy their life with drugs. I will step over them in the street and let them starve because that is what they have earned.
" Drug addiction is not a disease. It is a self-inflicted would people choose to suffer." It's induced by social despair. It's a symptom, not the cause.
@@truthadvocacy Nope. Lack of character is the cause. Social despair? "Boo hoo hoo, I can't make it, I'm not happy, I'm lonely, so I'm going to make my life 1,000 times worse by using drugs." See, lack of character.
Another nightmare! Garbage and Dead bodies everywhere! And even a butt in the screen today!😫😱😫
What will all these people do in winter?
Two words, Tent Fires.
I am not sure if you are aware the winters in Vancouver are mild and essentially snow free. That's why they're there! Of course, it's still winter. But it does not have death cold temperatures like it has in the rest of Canada and North USA! The temperature is consistently above freezing (rarely falls below freezing) - not even at night!
@@mathematicaleconomist4943 "I am not sure if you are aware the winters in Vancouver are mild and essentially snow free."😂
Snow free doesn't mean, not cold. Vancouver has winter temperatures around 45° F, and colder at night.
Though rare, a blizzard hit Vancouver last winter!
@@truthadvocacy Well...I was simply making sure he (or she) understood it was not DEADLY cold like most cities north of the Mason/Dixon line. Let's use an example. The homeless are much better off in Vancouver than many southern cities! For example, it is much more desirable being homeless in Vancouver than Nashville. The winter nights are MUCH milder in Vancouver than they are in Nashville. That's just one example!
Vancouver is so humid, I felt colder in winter there than I ever did in Winnipeg --- yet Winnipeg is the place that's famous for being so cold! Go figure...
Looks like the Kensington section of Philadelphia with the tragic brew of xylazine, fentanyl, and homelessness.

I got bear sprayed near gas town not too long ago from a junkie , I was walking to get a bus I had a good few drinks on me so I’d say they were watching me and some junkie grabbed my phone out of my hand when I turned around and punched him he had already sprayed me and absolutely everything was taken from me and of course the police didn’t give a shit their exact words were “if it’s down there it’s as good as gone” great help 👍
What a nice place to start a family ❤
Did you learn your lesson?

There is a way to fix this but the government and law enforcement have to work together to fix it. In the old days they had road camps for people who committed small infarctions of the law. The law breakers were picked up and taken to these road camps time and again until most come out of it some still die at it but most are helped back into society.
Out side of the cities they use to have like Army barracks to sleep in and get out of the weather. They were detained on small infractions even for jay walking, drug abuse, vagrancy, drunk disturbing the peace, etc and placed them into these places for any where from 4 months to a year .The inmates then were forced to grow gardens for the kitchen and raise cows and goats for their milk and chickens for food. Others who behaved their selves were allowed to get out on work furloe's to come back at night and pay a bigger portion of their wages unto the detention center to help cover the costs.
Some of the people who could would be taken out in groups of 11 or so and had to clean the road sides and other meaningful chores until time served. It worked.
There has always been this kind of homelessness back in the 1940's through the 1970's they were gathered up as ordinary law breakers. It worked because people get clean and start seeing a better way and the government care centers would help them to get jobs even jobs invented by the government for this cause. All worked eventually or go back to road camp no drugs allowed.
The cost is not as bad or much as you would think. Right now the government officials are only looking after self if they would just implement this, things would change to the good like before.
How about just throwing the top few layers of the local drug pushing cartels in jail and as penance they have to go sweep those streets, do the laundry and cook for those poor souls for 8 hours a day for the rest of their miserable lives? Now that's justice.

Some are mentally ill but most are likely relatively undisturbed. If you mix the most addictive opiates with tranquilizers, you can turn anyone into a zombie. I have no doubt if I tried the tranq thing a few times, I'd look like just one of these people.

So much horror and not one broken window in any of the buildings! The most restrained homeless I have ever seen.

If you're in this situation and need to talk and possibly some help I'm here...
None of these here Want help ok they truly don't no talking your going to give is gonna do anything the person needs to tell themselves there done and not until they do. for some that day never comes unfortunately MOST DONT WANT TO QUIT. u ever hear of some going to detox like 7 8 times it's because there not ready to quit you can't force a person with detox or treatment if they have no interest in quitting!

Нужно адекватно оценивать ситуацию. Социальное неравненство, бедность и богатство были всегда с начала времен человеческой истории. Но, в каждый период истории они немного отличались. Период 1930-х-1980-х был одним из лучших в истории США для большинства населения, в 50-х годах прошлого века, считают многие американцы, «Америка была настоящей Америкой». "Золотое время было", потому что страна была индустриально развитой впоследствии чего рабочий и средний клас набирали силу. Если коротко описать то им доставался большой кусок общественного пирога. В 80-е ситуация изменилась. Наступает период неолиберализма ( тэтчеризм, рейганомика). Его черты это приватизация, уменьшение государственных расходов, увеличение роли частного сектора и неограниченная свободная торговля). Аналогичные процессы начинаются во всем мире (усиление финансового, технологического секторов и упадок промышленного) . Падают доходы 80-90% населения (сюда входят менеджеры среднего уровня, преподаватели в обычных школах, строители, механики, водители, парикмакеры) растут доходы 1-10% населения ( владельцы крупного капитала и их обслуга ( юристы, економисты, топ-менеджера, аналитики, консультанты, банкиры, IT.). Вместе с разрывом в благосостоянии растёт и стоимость жилья, повышается общая стоимость жизни ( растут цены на продовольствие, сфера услуг (медицина, образование), комунальные услуги, энергоносители, транспорт). Многие представители рабочего и нижнего среднего классов испытывают огромные сложности с арендой, не говоря уже о покупке своего жилья и всемя вышеперечисленными расходами не только в Ванкувере, Северной Америке, но и в других в том числе развитых странах. Что касается США, то особые контрасты и социальные противоречия (потому что вместе с бедностью, бездомностью, преступностью, в этих регионах можна наблюдать шикарные пригороды утопающие в зелени с роскошными особняками с бассейнами, теннисными кортами и вертолётными площадками, полями для гольфа, анклавы с самой высокой стоимостью жилья в мире (возьмите например "Ряд миллиардеров" на Манхэттене южнее Центрального парка, где цены за единицу недвижимости доходят до 250 млн$), в этих регионах находятся лучшие высшие учебные заведения мира (Стэнфорд, Бэркли, МІТ, Гарвард, Йель, Принстон) особые контрасты и социальные противоречия можно наблюдать на технологичном западном побережье США (Калифорния), символом которого является Кремниевая долина, где находятся штаб-квартиры технологических монополистов мирового масштаба (Apple, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft) и финансовом восточном (мегалополис Босваш), символом которого является Уолл-стрит и где находятся штаб-квартиры финансовых монополистов также мирового масштаба ( Black rock, Fidelity, State Street, Vanguard, J.P Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley).

Homelessness is a crucial part of all cities and these need to include it into its infrastructure. Just like they spend millions in a nice looking modern stadium the city has to also invest in helping its homeless citizens. Establish education, training and assistance programs and help to abandon addiction. Drugs are the worst enemy of bright minds. Disgusting. Marihuana included, such stinky crap.
