Port cities in general tend to have this issue due to being a hot spot for drug imports. Add to that, Vancouver has the most bearable winter climate out of any large Canadian cities, it will obviously attract more than its fair share of transient people from all over the country.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

In all honesty, as someone who lived in Vancouver for years and just moved back in April, I feel safer walking through East Hastings at night than I do in some of the bro-town suburbs like Surrey or Maple Ridge where violent crime levels are higher.
