No shit, Vancouver's worst area is more messy than one of Tokyo's nicest areas. Now lets compare the 1000 block of Alberni to Tokyo's worst block and see how those compare.
The DTES is certainly ugly and Vancouver needs to figure out some way to help its addicts, homeless, business owners, and residents, but cherry picking streetview images from Vancouver or elsewhere does very little to prove any point.
