I'll say this about downtown Victoria. It's not just Pandora corridor any longer. Since COVID and the purchase of the Nanaimo street motels, the Tally Ho on Douglas and the hotels near Discovery/Queens has branched the violent crimes fiercely. And IMO has spread law enforcement and first response too thin.

This week it feels like the wild west from uptown to downtown. Timespan may be off a smidge but 2 fatal stabbings in 3 days span is a new thing. Another potentially fatal one this afternoon on Douglas /Yates.

The warm weather is arriving and the children are going mad.

I don't know what the solution is to safe drug supply, safe use/spaces but I don't think any of the answers they have are the right one at this point.

It's kinda wild how things are getting out of hand.
