Yah i noticed it too. I walk all the way from Shelbourne and Mckenzie at 5:30am on the weekends and i saw that as soon as i hit vancouver and fort there is homeless ppl sleepin in the doorways. Shitty yes...but there are places for them to go and i think half the time ppl that do live on the street do have places to go(teenagers) but dont want to cuz they dont like mommy and daddy's rules. YES, there are some with abuse problems but there are still places to go.

If i offended someone sorry, but in a few years parts of Victoria is gonna look like hastings. OR even New West. New West is Nice but is also a shithole and i dont want to happen to this place.

I never use to have a fear of getting jumped here by some crack head but now i do. I have been approach atleast 5 times but drunks or drug addicts and i have also been chased down hillside in the morning. And once i was approach by a guy with some sort of metal object, i am guessing a pipe. Luckly i gave him a sob story about my family and got away with it - Tue, 23 Jan 2007 12:15am

However bad anarchy is perceived it is better than this fascism that we have now. Taxpayers are under a horrible delusion that is killing everything.

You don't have the right to fear... or be angry, for that matter.

Until it is understood that 'democracy' is just a tool of fascism we will never see freedom.

Those people on Fort St. are probably just waiting in line to get their passports. Being first in the morning line-up means sleeping in a doorway like a true success story.
Once again, you may blame the government(s) for people sleeping on the sidewalk in Vitoria. - Tue, 23 Jan 2007 8:11pm
