East Hastings
East Hastings is the poorest neighbourhood in Canada. The streets are overrun with drug addicts (who have no problem with shooting up in the street) and prostitutes. This neighbourhood is
not for the faint of heart. It isn't overall that dangerous, there is a
hell of a lot worse places then East Hastings. But when there you should keep
on your toes and watch your back. The media really exagerates how bad it is there. It is also the oldest neighbourhood in Vancouver, if junkies, pandhandlers, and prostitutes don't frighten or anger you then East Hastings is the place to be.

The worst neighborhood in Vancouver unquestionably. Starts from about Clark St. until Main St (where it turns into West
Hastings, a decent business area), the northern border of Chinatown and just south of
the port. An uncomfortable place to be anytime where it's unusual to not see someone doing hard drugs on the sidewalk or stumbling around in cloth that doesn't qualify as clothes.
A main route from the tri-city suburbs and nothern
Burnaby into the downtown core.

Dude 1: Dude, you want to listen to
GY!BE?
Dude 2: Sure,
how about East Hasting?
Dude 1: Definitely, it's
my favorite.
