Pain and Wastings was an apocalyptic shithole 30 years ago. In the 90's, East Van had the highest HIV rate outside of Africa. It was also Robert Pigton's hunting ground at the time.
In my city of St. Petersburg, which has 5.5 million inhabitants, you will not find such horror anywhere, from the word nowhere. You can't be drunk or drugged on the streets here, much less lie down, sleep or live. I'm not even talking about dirt and garbage on the streets, it's impossible to imagine this here. I absolutely do not feel schadenfreude, however, like every normal person seeing such scenes of life. It seems that the authorities do not care about their people, and society considers these ugly phenomena to be something inevitable.
@TieNylon Solzhenitsyn warned the west of the evils of communism. He had to live in a home in the west, surrounded by an electric fence to protect himself from evil communist tyrants.
@@svahas No one has ever threatened Solzhenitsyn in America, he chose this place to live, and the fact that he built a fence around his house, this can be attributed not to fear of KGB agents, but to the fact that such fences were customary to build around houses in Russia. Do not mislead people. This was no longer the Stalinist era in the Soviet Union. By the way, in his rare speeches Solzhenitsyn criticized both the Soviet order and the American reality in the press, provoking retaliatory accusations from the American press of ingratitude and inconsistency with any system.
This is not a common example here. Every single country has that one dark spot that no one looks at. This is ours. If you think you don't have one, you're naive
our government isnt turning a blind eye. There are lots and lots of programs to help people like this. You can't help people not wanting help. We do live in a free country after all.
Say you are liberal without saying you are liberal. No wonder why this country is such a mess. You realise there is this thing called personal responsibility. Are you wanting government to manage everyone's lives?
@@richardtee2513I've lived in Alberta and worked oil and gas most of my life and I can say one thing... conservative idealogy does not include personal responsibility.

There is the very very odd conservative that actually follows through with personal responsibility, but it is rare.
Our B.C provincial health officer is Dr. Bonnie Henry, i dont know much about politics so correct me if I'm wrong but isn't she the one who signed the papers to authorize things like legalize hard drugs, giving out needles to junkies, catch and release with no charges, creating various housing projects for street people to live in, only to have them turn into drug dens, etc etc, and if this is so, there are talks starting among a few officials in B.C about having her removed from office...

@@aerobicsparadise im sorry to hear. We also have a few cities like new York that have similar problems. Any idea as to how Vancouver got to that state? lack of jobs? cartels?
@@soldier22881 Well other than it been drug central for at least 40 years where vulnerable people have ended up, several decades ago they pretty much closed the mental health centers and turfed them to the street and they all ended up there. The government's answer is to just throw money at the problem without actually dealing with the core problems. I read a report years ago that stated that the BC govt spends on average 35k per homeless/disadvantaged person.
Zombie apocalypse!! I use to live in Vancouver it was not like this then. This city is being destroyed, it is worse now then it was just a year ago :( This is the direct result of absolute and utter incompetence of those responsible for administration and law enforcement.
You could actually look at all the amazing parts of the country. I mean seriously, read your comments, people actually think represents the country. this is not a common thing.
You think it's not a common thing ? That's pretty naive , this isn't about showing parts of a country that is clean of this , this is showing the decay that's spreading
dam how many of these anti trump trolls will take over my youtube recommendations i have a ad blocker extension but i now need a political troll blocker extension as well
I get it its really sad, however I will never understand why all levels of government think hard working Canadians and business's have to put up with this crap.

As if voting changes anything; the newly elected just advances the agenda and blames "the previous administration" for anything the opposition complains about.
What is it you’re hoping to gain by posting these videos? Exposing people when they’re in a vulnerable state, I’m sure the people asleep/unconscious would be thrilled to know someone is filming them for the world to see., everyone loves being exposed at their worst. Most people use 20 filters and take several photos before picking one to post on social media, but you choose for people how they are exposed. Well done. And I’m not a bleeding heart snowflake, just someone who respects peoples privacy.

I must say that the new mayor has done something about it already. 2 years ago, you’d see the triple of people there. Keep going !
Nothing to do with the mayor it's fentanyl and other poison!
Is there less because our government is putting housing and care for people or just shipping them out to other towns?
