I have been homeless twice in my life. I started out busking and later resorted to panhandling.

I have been to AA and I have been NA. Sometimes I get really depressed. But most days I am happy and life is good. I have schizophrenia and I am on disability. I don’t busk or panhandle anymore.

The constant pressure to behave and stay out of trouble can be maddening. And the boredom can drive a person to drinking or drugs.

I don’t know what it is that makes the difference. Here there are people who don’t want to quit smoking pot or don’t want to quit drinking. But I think hard drugs is a totally different situation. I have no drug connections in my life anymore other than the local pot shop occasionally, but I try not to go there. I was hooked on meth years ago but that isn’t even a temptation anymore. I don’t hang out with people who do that stuff anymore and I left those connections back in a different town. I have been watching invisible people. It’s a show that focuses on helping homeless people. But many of those people are homeless for reasons other than drugs. Many people simply don’t have enough income to house themselves.

Majority of them will die from fentanyl overdose, or drugs related violence. Second hand fentanyl smoke can easily kill you in no time. Street homeless gradually destroy everything around themselves. We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl drug available on our streets. If they can afford, they smoke fentanyl up to 100 times a day. That's how all these fires are started. Homeless advocates are mentally stuck in Pathological Altruism, and all they do is enabling fentanyl addicts remain as close as possible to their fentanyl dealer.

Thank you for filming this so that people can be aware of the devastating circumstances of our Canadian people living on the streets of Vancouver. I'm an artist and I lived near this area managing an artist building until 2000. To see how the homeless situation has grown in 22 years really breaks my heart. No one plans to grow up and be homeless. And yes, there is an odd sort of camaraderie and sense of honor amongst street people. I got to know many of them personally and grew to love them very much. We need to even out our society and get the priorities straight. Rich people, you cannot get richer. That's it. You are just too greedy. And to the rest of us. We need to stay strong and help wherever we can and I don't mean Sunday visits giving out sandwiches. There needs to be a concerted effort by the citizens of Vancouver to bring attention to the Mayor and council members that this is not good enough. Monies are there. There is enough money. Stop building so many roads and build a valley of tiny houses with education and medical facilities for these people. I don't see integrating them. That chance is gone. They need to be supported in a setting away from the madness of the city. Until they get food, clothing, medical assistance and and education or trade they won't function in our so called society. They are there because the rich people are too greedy. And others just can't see. We all need to love one another more.

This is what it is.

I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherlands, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country. I randomly looked at videos from downtown Manchester and Concord in New Hampshire - Philadelphia - Detroit - Chicago - New York - Baltimore - Denver - Atlanta - Nashville, and Knoxville in the United States, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and London in the UK, Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and Toulouse in France, Frankfurt, and Hamburg in Germany, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane in Australia, Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka in Japan, Busan, Seoul, and Incheon in South Korea, Toronto - Quebec - Montreal - Winnipeg - Calgary - Vancouver - Victoria - Ottawa and Thunder Bay in Canada. we should be fair. The bitter truth must be accepted. Without any exaggeration. Completely impartial. I have to say that I didn't see a single piece of garbage in any of the other country's videos to convince myself. Without exaggeration, in all Canadian cities, you will find a piece of trash or garbage on the ground less than every hundred meters. It must have an important reason. I do not know. But this is a bitter truth. You can try. This country should be brought closer to its exaggerated claim. Certainly, some Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and even Malaysia are much cleaner compared to Canada. Of course, we should not forget that Canada claims to be one of the 10 cleanest countries in the world. And cities like Vancouver and Toronto claim to be one of the 5 cleanest cities in the world.

They serve and protect themselves. My challenge to every citizen in this country, audit the police in your community one day a week for 6hrs, make it an adventure. Keep your distance and record what you see and hear. Go home play it back, in your m8ndcremove the uniform and ask yourself. Who is the bully, the unreasonable, who pushes boundaries and elevates the emotional climate to then, harm, belittle, shame or kill it's citizens. To be clear, I am describing a culture, many members deserve our admiration and respect. Sadly though when members turn a blind eye to discrecible conduct they are now just as guilty. Stay safe

I understand...but pick your trash up!!! You don't have to live like pigs . It is a shame that things are this bad but have some decency. The city can hand out trash bags.

The issue with trash is a city responsibility not the homeless, the lack of public washrooms and accessible garbage cans that get emptied regularly is almost impossible to find. I’m sure I’ve inadvertently contributed to the issue by trying to shove an empty coffee cup into an over flowing can…get mad at the Vancouver government who refuses to bring forth any sort of solution of substance, not the homeless.

Those that don't want to change should not be taking over the streets as if it belongs to them and be made to clean the streets to keep them occupied. Vancouver is filthy enough. As for real homeless people who do not do drugs but have ended up in the bowels of Vancouver, the city should be helping them first before they get flushed with the ones refusing to change.

E Hastings strip (5 mins walk to downtown and waterfront) is about 4 to 6 blocks occupied by these guys. They are struggling and some are in rough shapes but they are friendly and cool as a cucumber. you don't bother them they never bother you. If sometimes you run into a panhandler asking for spare change, pull out your pocket if you can or else simply ignore and walk away. No one will follow or run after at all.

Thank you. All we want is they get/live better, locale will get back to original charm as any other parts of the city

What businesses can thrive in that hell hole area? Utterly disgusting. I can't believe how our city looks now. As I kid I never saw it like this. Horrid!!!
