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.

When I was last in Vic (early April 2025) it seems to have been cleaned up, there was fencing along the road.
All that means is those individuals have to find somewhere else.
It's sad really, my wife always reminds me that these are someone's kids, brother/sister or parent.
Since the boy has been at UVic this past year we have been out there a few times.
Absolutely lovely city and part of the country.
