That Vancouver is raising property tax to deal with a problem that the Provincial government should be handling or helping to handle is very telling.

Hmm...don't agree with this at all. The downtown eastside is hardly a new problem. You talk about it like throwing more money at the problem would automatically fix it.
And if you're referring to the riverview hospital, yes the final stages of closure occurred under the Liberal government, but the decision to close it was made in 1990, and they started closing entire wings under the NDP leadership of the 1990s.
