Downtown Victoria is a lot more than just those couple blocks of Pandora. The core certainly has issues, but to use this article to paint it as uniformly declining is fallacious.
Downtown Victoria is still vibrant, beautiful, full of history, and fun to spend time in. Of course there are homeless people - Victoria has by far the best climate in the country - and of course that stretch of Pandora is absolutely awful. But to indict the entire downtown based on a two-block stretch is dishonest.
