Vancouver Downtown Eastside

5/16/2015

0 Comments

 
Vancouver downtown was once ruled by Vancouver's raw Downtown Eastside or  DTES and it was full of dumpster divers, druggies and the down-and-out.This was also one of the poorest country in Canada.After the shops,bars,wineries,and restaurant started to move into the  west of downtown.The people there had a strong community activism, so they had the power needed to push away the poor.

In 1980 all the people who are rich would move to Richmond and Chinatown would just be a poor neighborhood.But now the streets are like Hong Kong, full of neon lights.The Dr.Sun Yat Sen garden and other store and restaurant is the reason why it is attracting the tourist.
