God damn I was shocked at how bad it had gotten just walking from the marina to the nearby liquor store, it was sketchy as fuck. We sat on the boat in the evening watching the addicts in the park and the general craziness of it all. I honestly had never seen anything like it in Nanaimo before, but it's much the same in places all over BC right now.
Penticton this year was also the worst I've ever seen it, so it's not just Nanaimo specifically.

My wife has 2 cousins that mowed to nanaimo from the LML, one kinda forced to for work the other is kind of a hillbilly and had this cash out and “move to the country” type mentality lol
He bought a peice of land and started building a new house, dragged all his toys and RV to the new property and before the new house was even complete a crack head came and smashed every window in the new house, RV, a rental bobcat, etc.
They had video up close of the guy doing it, after talking to the community they chalked it up to an “episode” and the guy never even got a fine etc. lol same story as here dozens and dozens of convictions for this guy, caused 50k+ in damage, no penalty.
Nanaimo was a shit hole before any of this lol now it’s just crazy I’m sure
