Downtown Eastside Vancouver - crime and drugs . . .
. . . pay in premature death
Did you sign your organ donor card?
The Downtown Eastside (DES) is a neighbourhood in Vancouver, B.C., with a reputation for the most poverty-stricken and crime-ridden streets in North America, and the DES comes by the reputation honestly. The area is carefully policed and closely surveilled but it's strictly a matter of containment. The causes of poverty and crime are examined as often as the poverty and crime are disparaged and wished away.
