Drugs and homelessness as one SJW tries to live on the streets for a month
"
With the 2010 Olympics approaching, will the world get to know Vancouver's darkest secret? 'Streets of Plenty' chronicles one man's perilous journey to live in Vancouver's downtown east side ghetto. The rules of this twisted social experiment? Starting with only a pair of underwear, he must survive the harsh winter streets for 31 days. He has no money, no friends, no family, and most importantly, no home. He must navigate the institutions, policies and services alongside the thousands of people that call Vancouver's streets home."

Anyone seen this before? Just saw it and started the initial video and watched all 7.

There is an area of Vancouver where the cops don't hassle the users and people do heroin in the open. It's not in some seedy part of town, either. It's pretty bizarre see.

I spent the Christmas & New Years holiday in Vancouver in 2010/11. We toured all the islands and got to see first hand this area. It's filthy, but right in the ally of beauty & wealth. And the city puts up signs letting people know what happens on this street, what drugs are there etc. And the police allow it to stay on those streets.

Sounds like a good idea. More cities should do this.

Bunny Colvin pulled this off on the West side of Baltimore.

Probably low chance of getting murdered even in the lawless ghettos of Vancouver. Look at the demographics.
