I heard about vancouver's situation, it sucks. LA has done many similar things, most recently a parallel 're-gentrification' program in downtown around the Staples Center which ten years ago was massive skid row with as many as 10,000 homeless people in that one small area alone.. the city/county was supposed to add housing and public assistance funds specifically for these folks but in true LA fashion, ala Johannesburg they sent the LAPD and chased out all the folks. They only marginally increased the funds for public housing.. I hope Vancouver is on a better track than Los Angeles in this regard
