You weren’t around at the time were you ? Clearly not. The whole area east of Hastings was home to those people in a lot of buildings that are no longer there and a lot of buildings that remain. It’s no secret that there was a concentrated effort to move people north of the viaduct in order for what you see now to take place.
I love Vancouver, It’s a spectacular city but things have happened (and are still happening) that have had both been incredibly positive for the city and rather unfortunate, unfair and unjust to Vancouverites. If you don’t recognize that then you’re part of the problem.
