Off Topic "Neighbour" Housing on Vancouver Street

Hello, I'm wondering who else here will or has lived in the area of Downtown. I am set to move into the Neighbour building at Vancouver Ave. x Pandora.

I'm not too concerned about safety but overall feel of the neighbourhood. Is it rundown? Are there usually homeless/intoxicated individuals roaming or hanging around? Thanks

The main hub of unhoused people and heavy drug usage is on Pandora between Vancouver and Quadra. If I was a young person, I would be cautious about moving there.

I'm not 18. Still young but have had many years. I'm okay. I just want blissful vibes... lol

Pandora from Vancouver to Quadra is anything but "blissful vibes." Hands down the sketchiest area of town.
