Said it else. This is not a west coast problem. It might be on a larger scale here because of the weather but this is happening everywhere. But the small towns in the middle of nowhere are not stories. LA, SF, Sea, Van are stories.

Yes - you can go to virtually any city or neighbourhood reddit/facebook/nextdoor page and its going to be filled with people complaining about homelessness or drug users, etc. Is it worse in this places - probably.. and weather has a lot to do with it. Some person who lives in the rich suburbs or exurbs of Calgary - probably thinks downtown Calgary or where the homeless congregate there is the world's most dangerous area as well.
