stumbled across a channel on youtube which shows all kinds of things going on ddown there, its quite interesting. Does Vancouver have a similiar channel showing projects and things going on?
heres a project to watch and see how it goes to help the homeless
Great if the homeless are genuinely unfortunate folks running out of luck but want to get back to being normal again. Here in Vancouver, many are addicts who have their mental health stained by abuses, with some even habitually committing petty crimes to help feed their habit. How can house owners trust them to give their backyard homes to these people? Would you?
I showed this to some friends out in Europe and they were quite taken aback. Like their perception of reality got turned up side down. This one clip is pretty telling of the priorities out here and the reality bellow the pretty surface.

this is somewhere in mt pleasant, can't figure out where, has anyone seen it?

Break-ins in Shaughnessy and the West Side record huge increase, thanks to all the empty houses there. Sucks if you actually live there:
Shaughnessy residents are now questioning whether the empty houses that have become common in their neighbourhood are contributing to an increase in break-ins. Joanne Lewis, a neighbour of Cullen’s, has rented a home in the neighbourhood for two years and was surprised to notice just how many homes sit empty — some for years.
There have been a number of break-ins in the neighbourhood since Lewis moved in. A fire at a $14 million house in the historic First Shaughnessy area on Oct. 22 has only heightened Lewis’ fears: police have called the fire "suspicious".
