Seems like a pretty good trend line to me?
I know there's a civic election coming next year, and a federal one probably sooner, but this narrative that Vancouver is falling apart, and turning into a den of villainy is already getting tired.
Certainly, some of us had some pretty bad run ins, and there's no disputing things are more visible with less activity on the streets. That said, for all of our mental health's sake, can everyone (regardless of party affiliation) just chill for a few more months, or at least until we all get a vaccine in our arms, before we start this politicking garbage? |
Much respect to you for the work you do on this forum. But this City, much like most of the West Coast is falling apart. Were right there with LA, SF, Seattle and Portland. If you find that acceptable, that's great. Were free to make choices.
Not only is this not tired, its hardly addressed enough.
But I can agree to disagree. Ultimately, I made my choice to pack my bags, it wont be me paying the price for inaction now.
VPD stats are ones I citied in my conversations with local governments;
Lines like "Possession of Stolen Property" seeing a decrease is absolutely laughable. We have legalized theft, and the sale of stolen items. We in fact sanction, monitor and police the very markets these stolen items are sold at. I would expect under these conditions for stats like this to continue to decline to near zero.
The reality for communities affected? Very different.
