Even though its disgusting I'm not sure how dangerous it could be considered, I'm a local and live downtown and am exposed to that area on a regular basis, the druggies are usually to high to notice you and the pan handlers are not that aggressive and can be easily ignored. For tourists I recommend the Sun Yat Sen garden in china town but not much more so their is no real reason to stay very long in the area. I see tourists regularly in the area so it can't be that bad either way for you guys. Use your street smarts, (don't be too flashy around drug addicts etc.) and you'll be fine. just an addition …Stay out of the downtown east side and your chances of any thing bad happening to you shrink enormously, the DTES is not a tourist destination and should be generally left alone.

Their is some random street crime but the vast majority of it is related to gangs and drugs, violence in that groups generally stays between them with occasional spill over. Jim Chu is right though chronic offenders need to be put in jail, which will likely lead to a significant decline. Its a few offenders significantly skewing the results, remember those are only the 40 times they got caught. This is not accurate Vancouver is generally safe.

If it never happened to you, or you never saw it happen (or chose to close your eyes) doesn't mean it's not happening right around you. Now, we all know that there is a margin of errors, but considering what I have heard and seen, those numbers are close to being accurate. Except for considering the mistake which is to compare cities with regions, I'd agree with the numbers.

I was wanting to go visit there with my fiancee but she is afraid because we have heard so much about Montreal being a dangerous and slum-like city. We just want to be safe and leave our bullet proof vests at home! Thanks Hello Jim. I am an America from Fargo actually.

Violating innocent peoples human rights with ndraconian ideas and practices is not progress but is stepping back into medieval times of butchery and ignorance. There are solutions that dont need to use something that will never be welcome in Canada as a solution to anything. Iam a liberal and accepting person however anyone who cant live under canadian laws and cant forget about hqaving shria law here needs to leave canada alone and go back to their home country. We will never accept shria law in Canada. Shria law would be the worst way to have more control by violating peoples human rights.

They can sometimes be taken as a "guideline" (I say that very lightly). The University guide is also very flawed. I was visiting McGill university residences, which are ranked an A (meaning very good), and then I visit the Concordia residences (which received a D meaning "poor"). I realized right away that the Concordia residences should have been given an "A", and the McGill residences a "B". I think it's important to realize that these stats cannot be taken seriously.

It seems, we are not even an afterthought to the rest of Canada! Do they not know Newfoundland and Labrador is also a part of this big beautiful country ? It's not a nice feeling to always be the group left out of everything! But then again, we probably know without stats that Newfoundland & Labrador is one of the safest place to live, not only in Canada but the entire world! I raised two children on this island and can't ever remember any serious crime being connected to their classmates or friends! The peace of mind in knowing you live in a safe community is worth more than anything money can buy! I hope our new found wealth, with all it's positive spin-offs, don't bring with it the negative side of a booming economy! Exactly what I was thinking Roberta!

I don't know where you are pretending to work but you're clearly lying. I lived on the west side of Saskatoon my whole life. I've walked down 20th in the middle of the night and been fine. I'd like to know where exactly the store owners allow people to walk out with their arms full of merchandise? My sister used to work at money express-- a pawn shop on 20th. The clients were perfectly kind and no one ever stole with the staff being fully away. When they did suspect someone of stealing the person wasn't just allowed to leave they were confronted. I don't live in Saskatoon anymore but I love that city and I'll be damned if I sit here and allow you to insult it and drag the cities name through the mud even more. Move if your so scared but there is nothing to be afraid of and you know it. You are an idiot. I don't know where you are pretending to work but you're clearly lying.

Compareable to east LA maybe, south central is way worse than vancity. Detroit is also a very crime infested city. Probably one of the worst in the US. I hav family in Detroit and they say its pretty bad. I hav family in toronto and they luv it. I have family in vancouver and they all have problems. My uncle is homeless, one of my cousins is in a gang, one of my cousins is pregnant and shes 17. My aunt cant afford heating or a phone. For all those who dont know, look up "through a blue lens" or just look up vancouver DTES. Anyways, best of luck to everyone and their probs, and pushing crime from their cities.

These statistics do seem a little of but i think i can say with confidence that vancouver is probably one of the worst (maybe even the worst) in terms of scary, unsafe, crime infested, cities. There has been a ridiculous number of shootings this year. The gang problem has gone out of control. And ya, i used to live in east van and i know wat u mean. Step out ur door to see hookers, pimps, dealers, gangsters, and crack heads that will kill you for money so they can get their next fix. The overall GVA is gettin crazy. Shootings all over vancouver, surrey, coquitlam/poco, and heck even abbotsford. People say toronto is worse but then why is it so many different statistics made by different people rate toronto one of the safest metropolitan cities in canada? Stephen u are absolutely right.
