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.

      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!)

          I’m not understanding what premise you’re rejecting.

          Are you okay with the lawyers having additional security as long as they don’t move the court? Even though a few years of paying for that security would probably cost more than repurposing a different building would?
