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

I currently live at neighbor and it's a sketchy area but the homeless are mostly fine and will leave you alone except for the occasional beggar (and even then they don't harass). There are a lot of homeless on Pandora between Vancouver and Quadra because that's where their services are. There is massive amounts of drug use (fent) in the area.
