The Vancouver Downtown Eastside Area
​
"While the city brags about its housing accomplishments, the housing crisis in the DTES got worse in 2012. Not only were there about 850 homeless people, up from 700 last year, thousands of people are still living in crummy SRO hotel rooms with no bathroom or kitchen, and often cockroaches, bedbugs and poor conditions… which they increasingly cannot afford."

"Vancouver is extremely good at feeding, housing and supervising the injections of the Downtown Eastside. But for all the money and attention here, there is little success at either getting the area’s shattered populace back on their feet, or cleaning up the neighbourhood into something resembling a healthy community."
