Oh yes, very much so. I've got a couple of friends who do some volunteer work there and it's pretty rough. So glad people are reaching out and trying to help.
This city is crazy the way it swings from the over the top excessive to those who really struggle. Something more needs to be done and that doesn't involve building more bike lanes. So ridiculous where the city's priorities are.
Anyways I'm way glad you're out of there and am excited about what the future has in store for Steemit. Popped up two posts on the FB group and a couple of people up'd them. I've been supporting as much as possible. Hope you've had a great day!!

it's so, so, so fucking sad....I absolutely agree with you :/
The priorities lie not in helping those in need, but simply in keeping property values inflated, keeping the money coming in and basically sectioning off the "blight" on Vancouver that is the DTES.
So sad... :[ I still can't believe how fast that part of the city sucked me in and nearly fucking killed me. I did a podcast interview last night which I can't wait to share once it's released, and we talked about the DTES/my addictions for a bit. I'd love if you checked it out once it is released.
I'm so glad i'm out of there too.
I wouldn't focus too much on the FB group these days - your best bet at growth is to hop in Discord if you aren't already, and join the other 350+ minnows in there! here's a link for getting set up in there if you need help:

Sweet, thanks. Will focus more there... please let me know when your podcast gets released. I definitely want to catch it.
So agree with you on this city and it's priorities. Look at all the money they've been spending putting suicide barriers on the bridges. I'm like how about spending money on support for the people and providing resources to prevent them from being in such a desperate position. So pathetic...
Hope you've had an amazing day and keep me posted!!
It's so fucked up. Vancouver needs to get it's shit together. My ex still lives there with her mom and I keep getting flashbacks to that place and how much bullshit I went through with my addiction there...I hate it :/
I will definitely let you know when the podcast episode is released! I actually kind of want to start my own podcast potentially - all about crypto, life, entrepreneurialism, travel, writing, etc - I think it would be pretty awesome. Thoughts/!
I think starting a podcast is a great idea! Would love to do it but I have time constraints with work so it's too much for me to take on. I love listening to podcasts. So much good quality content you can learn and improve yourself with, they are awesome!!
I absolutely agree - and I'd be featuring members of the community on each episode so there would be LOADS of valuable content for all SteemIt users :D
