It was not good then. And it is no not better now. Nobody will visit him (at least I wouldn't) so he needs to accept that. If he can tough it out for a few years to experience this so-called Downtown lifestyle, go for it.

I don't know about "noone visiting him", unless his friends have some phobia of homeless people.
I think that building is almost far enough from main/Hastings. It's not great, but it's not horrible. I personally would not buy there. Noisy clubs nearby, loud drunk people fri-sat.
If he views the unit, he should sit around until an ambulance or po-po drive by, to hear if the windows are thick or not.
I live by science world, first responders are passing every 10-30 minutes, with the balcony door open, it's "loud", and with it closed, the noise is reduced by 80%, you get useto it.
