I remember driving through the chinatown area at 6 am in the morning back in 1998, and all you see is a few old ladies doing their morning walks, and a few crack heads looking to find a fix.
To be honest, I am quite surprised to see a waves coffee still open at night in that area.
A few reasons why chinatown has become what it is today include Richmond and other pockets of chinese style produce like Victoria and 41st. ave.
And the crack heads in the area.

well for us it was because of the price of parking going up and up, the crackheads who harass you for change, and all the good shops started to move out or close down. now it's mostly cheap chinese kitchenware or low-grade herbal medicine shops
