Question

What are the sketchy neighbourhoods in vancouver, BC?

Answer 1

The east side. It's the truth. Every time I go there the sky is gray.

Answer 2

East Hastings Street.

China town.

Downtown Eastside.

Answer 3

Most of Vancouver was pretty safe to walk through even at night.  But be careful of East Hastings street.  It has a bad reputation and a well deserved one.  It's a stark contrast to some of the nearby areas such as gastown which is a popular tourist draw.  Even during the day, you will see the homeless lying around, drug dealers, and the look of the area is just of a rundown type.  I accidentally walked through there, luckily during the day, and I swear I saw a drug deal go down.  At night, it gets worse.  I don't have anything against the homeless, some are harmless... but of course there are some that aren't... why take a chance?  Generally this is the area between gastown and chinatown.
