@vancouversafestreets: No timeline for when Granville SROs will be shut down The B.C. government has promised to close a number of single room occupancy hotels on the Granville Strip, but when remains a mystery. A longtime business owner in the area is raising concerns about safety. Jordan Armstrong has more. - Link in Bio @safestreetsbc @publicsafetybc @publicsafetycanada @yourcanadianbacon #safestreetsvancouver #safestreetsvan #crime #vancouvercrime #safety

Jeff Lerasan :

Angela.604🇨🇦 :

hmmm... much easier to move a business then to cause a significant amount of people to be homeless 🙄... perhaps some de-escalation training is needed for this business experiencing issues 🤷‍♀️. these people need a home soooooo, yah.... nuff said

Katie🦋🧡🐢🧡🦋 :

3/4 of the way through the video and there it is.. "involuntary care" let's round up all the undesirables, lock them up and call it care. wonder what the cost of that will be and is it comparable to actual help.. therapy, training and or stepping up and doing something about the abuse (systemic or otherwise) that usually leads to ppl living on the streets/sro's. but, yeah let's make it sound like a easy fix.

Rigatoni :

Pay rent or no home.

jennajream :

It’s kind of embarrassing the reputation that Vancouver has now we need to do something different. We all deserve to be here and every person is equal, but when problems start to happen and it’s just overrun with Drugs. We have to somehow take control back and make a change.

Gods Chosen :

you take all these people that are in these government-run sros and you put them into these places and they basically get forgotten about the agencies go on about how they're helping people and they're not they go to work 9:00 to 5:00 and then get to work at 10:00 to 3:00 that's the way it is because they always say they're busy at the office most of them don't have an office. it's a joke actually a very bad one. the ones that I have seen running around with their tags around their neck all giddy acting like they're doing something I've actually seen these people go into these sros and that complete the work that the tenants that they are visiting not getting the help that they need it's a fail actually. his complicated as the issues are with the drug issue that is being enabling instead of having treatment for some of these people some with mental illnesses brought on by the drugs that they use being tossed out onto the street by the government who created the problem in the first place and then everybody who's on Granville who has more money than they know what to do with convincing the counselors at City Hall to enact on these people in a bad situation making this situation worse by tossing them on the street just because the people on Granville doesn't want that in their neighborhood it's another scenario where the rich get what they want and the people that are trying to just live every day get screwed over because the government doesn't have a solution because they just don't care that's the reality of this situation money over people and it's an election year so you can bet that all the butt kissers that are running for government are going to please the rich people because they don't care about anybody else but themselves and honestly that's the truth✨✨✨✨

No one has 2 SRO’s trust. It’s hard enough to get into 1.
