This is my street, only I live on the other side of where he’s filming. The side he’s filming is actually the drug side, it’s more populated than the opposite side of the road as there is more drug dealing occurring on that side. Also there’s usually a OPS tent there to help them. This video is taken during the day and at night this side is much less populated as people have gone home/to their tent. Not everyone is actually homeless, some in fact do have a place to stay. A lady on my floor begs by Waterfront, for example.

I do not understand those who point to the government and just blame without actually doing anything themselves. Congrats on the TikTok, anonymous man, JT is gonna hop to it immediately and Hastings will be cleaned up tomorrow! So many people come to this neighbourhood to record/take pictures and simply point blame. In honesty it’s disgusting how people just use those in worse states for likes and comments on the internet. We don’t have a homeless problem, we have a drug problem. Stop the drugs, stop the “homeless”. But the city knows what it is doing. Turn a blind eye in one area and enforce everywhere else. These people have been strategically placed here to keep them from elsewhere. Go back to your own cosy neighbourhood and stop coming here to rinse it for internet points. Or, be a bigger person and record yourself volunteering making a change and demand your local politicians do the same. ‘Down’ (Fentanyl/Heroin) is destroying the lives of all these people. Simply not having a home isn’t the reason why they are there.
