Have you ever lived in Vancouver or just a visitor? If the latter then I can see where you get your opinion from.

It's really not as bad as you're making it out to be. I've lived here all my life and have never personally run into much trouble or witnessed anything worse than a drunken fight. Maybe I'm staying out of the bad areas, maybe I'm just lucky. But every major city is going to have these issues and the spotlight is on Vancouver right now because all this is happening in a short period of time. Crime is going to have peaks and valleys.
I am truly not concerned AT ALL about myself or my belongings when I leave my house or car. No more than if I lived in any other major city.
