Yeah, though not as bad as the epicenter just west of Hastings and Main, much of downtown gets it now, as does much or Mount Pleasant and Grandview-Woodland. It's a pretty substantial portion of the geographical area of Vancouver proper that has people in pretty bad conditions that substantially affect communities. There's also a surprising amount of gun violence, at least surprising to me as someone who came back to Canada after 15 years away and hadn't imagined it could be so common in Vancouver.
