Kind of amazing. In my head this is basically saying "we can’t protect people in parts of downtown Vancouver and rather than change that, it may just be easier to abandon the area.

    So, say someone were hospitalized after being attacked for being gay and the gay community asked the city to step up and increase community safety, would you also think it’s pretty gross the lgbtq community thought they were special as opposed to the rest of the plebs?

      That’s not what was asked, the pride organizers didn’t ask to relocate Davie street, you disingenuous prat.

        I asked a hypothetical question you silly Billy, feel free to answer it.

        Or to be honest and just say “hey, if people who make more money get hospitalized, boo hoo to them.” (Even though globally, we’re probably in the 1% of wealth etc but pesky reality don’t matter none.)

        Edit: Alternatively, how about you be a woman in a nice business suit walking alone through Main and Hastings after dark and after a day of defending the poor in court? Do that a few dozen times and let me know how safe you feel. (Don’t worry, if anything does happen, I will have a sympathetic “oh noes” for you too!)
