	Vancouver Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Downtown Eastside is also a place of poverty, disability and mental illness, but it exists mainly because possession of heroin, amphetamines and cocaine is a crime.
		One implication, though, is that the Downtown Eastside should remain pretty much where it is, and how it is. Modernist urban renewal never took hold in Vancouver; now we are expected to respect neighbourhood cultures and not perform surgery on communities that have their own kinds of strength.
		On the Corner is not a brief for the Downtown Eastside “way of life.” It shows the brutal treatment of the weak by the strong, the one-way street of addiction, and the vampire shadow of the abduction and murder of dozens of Hastings Street prostitutes.

	Canada's Poorest Postal Code
		This Downtown Eastside has sunk to this state neither through some inborn character flaw common to its residents, nor through some inevitability of poverty, but because Vancouver's planners and politicians have found it convenient to first create, then intensify ours, the most artificial of slums.
		The downtown eastside is not only where we warehouse the poor -- bad enough itself - -- but also where we render them helpless by inexcusably concentrating them within a culture of addiction.
		Immigrants are the lifeblood of Vancouver, and one of the many demographic disasters of the Downtown Eastside is that it has the lowest ratio of people born elsewhere of any Vancouver neighbourhood.
