The DTES isn't even that dangerous. If anything, it's just sad. I walk through the Main/Hastings intersection all the time and have never once had any problems. This might sound crazy, but I think the DTES has more character in its buildings than any other part of this city. Vancouver loves to raze its history. The eastside seems like one of the few places where the old city still exists. Sometimes seeing towers of glass and perfectly manicured lawns makes me feel like I'm living in a giant mall.
Vancouver is cool. If you like sports you'll love it here. If you want arts or culture you might be better off in Montreal or Toronto.
