The answer is yes. The decline is not as fast as it is in Vancouver, but it is definitely happening. I also got yesterday shouted to by some clearly crazy Karen on the street.
This is a Metro Vancouver wide problem and has everything to do with our leaders not doing anything about the rampart drug and homeless problem, which are one and the same problem.
It is also a problem that spade is not being called spade anymore and also in the article these instigators are described almost as the victim as they are "suffering from mental illness" or being "emotionally unstable". In plain English, these people have melted their brains using drugs and are criminals for attacking people. It isn't more difficult than that.
I bet Vancouver won't retain its 2021 16th place on the Most Livable Cities list next year. Maybe 61th?
