It even says in the article you posted that the increase was likely caused by the pandemic, which is fairly consistent with violent crime data across most large cities in North America.

So it would stand to reason that, as we get further away from the pandemic, these numbers should continue to decline, right?
Opendoor was showing violent crime rates since 2002; so no, not accurate and not even relevant unluss random attack rates mirror those.
I'm sure people worried about random attacks will be glad domestic violence and bar fights are down though.

Hopefully random attacks are declining from covid and continue to, but I don't see how that justifies sweeping it under the rug as a non issue or pretending it was like this 10 years ago.
Everyone in Vancouver knows that's not true.
Furthermore the number of attacks and the criminal history and parole of an attacker are 2 different points of concern.
Even if the number of attacks drops significantly, a repeat offender with 60+ police encounters and multiple assault charges being free to do this will always be a problem.

EDIT: Also, I'm still waiting on this.
It's right beside where I said you can keep people in prison forever. Make up silly things, completely avoid the event, show your true motivations.
Never have you shown any concern for victims; always rushing straight to a political angle.

Hate to break it to you, but you can't just keep people in prison forever.
