Vancouver’s Dark Side - lost souls on East Hastings & entering Chinatown (4k walking tour)

My walk around East Hastings street Vancouver 4k video, where we see the dark side of Vancouver- the side that the city doesn’t want to promote to the tourists. Although it’s only a couple blocks away from Gastown (big tourist attraction) It’s an area of Vancouver that is infamous for it’s homeless situation and also for the serious drug problems. Vancouver has had an issue in this area for the longest time. Safe injection sites have been open in the general East Hastings area of Vancouver so people do have the ability to be in the presence of medical professionals if they so choose. In this video, we walk a stretch of East Hastings from Abbot street, but we also enter into the Chinatown area and walk through there as well. It’s eerily quiet as most businesses were closed, and at some times it felt like walking in a ghost town.
