Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) is notorious. It’s only 4 square kilometers in size, but it’s a dangerous place for at-risk people. For decades, the streets have been used as a hunting ground for vulnerable women. For example, Robert Pickton, one of Canada’s most heinous criminals, walked these streets in search of victims.
Massive drug operations have headquartered in the derelict hotels of East Hastings, and when enslaved drug mules or sex workers don’t pay their debts, they meet fates as heinous as being thrown out of 5- or 6-storey windows.
