I think I can speak with some authority here as I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on this site who lives Downtown and walks EVERYWHERE still. Also regularly drive to and fro Burnaby along Hastings, Pender, 1st Ave, Terminal, Broadway, etc.
Are things *in general* worse than 2019? Yes.
Are things now an apocalyptic hellscape that's reached all time-depraved status caused singlehandedly by Trudeau's term in office (2015-present). - No I'm old enough to know things were shitty back in the 90s along a greater geographic area. So much of East Van was a shitty and rundown you can't imagine how much is gentrified now. Basically we've concentrated our problem now, homelessness and open drug use are a bigger issue today but violence was a much bigger problem before.
