Seriously, why were you walking through bad neighbourhoods in Orlando and Tampa?

You are comparing apples and oranges. Vancouver's downtown east side is an entirely different kind of slum than some of the American ghettos that have been mentioned. The risk to your personal safety is far less there. If you want to use it as your personal basis for Vancouver being a bad place to live, go ahead...but the area isn't a real threat to you if you live in Vancouver. You probably have a better chance of getting assaulted at one of the bars on Granville on the weekend.
