Ditto about things being safer. A friend of mine from university grew up in East Van and when we go out for dinner sometimes he'll point out that this pho restaurant or that dessert shop used to be no-go zones if you were part of the wrong gang. Remember that Yaletown used to be the bad part of town too!

Its also shocking how things stayed the same. Burnaby Heights has barely changed. North Van east of 2nd Narrows is exactly the same.

I somewhat disagree, Maplewood has been slowly but steadily growing despite council's best efforts to salt the earth, the reserve has been in a continuous building boom for the last 20 years, and we're starting to see new townhouse slowly radiate out from Parkgate along the Parkway along with the big new development happening at Lytton and the Parkway. The Deep Cove and Dollarton neighbourhoods are complete lost causes, but I'm not going to take this East North Van slander standing up!

1) Vancouver is now too bougie for strip clubs. They were everywhere at one point

I don't think that's just a Vancouver thing, talking to older generations I think that was just a 70s/80s thing.
