I worked on the 48th floor of the building in Seattle, had to take two sets of elevators to get there. I was never comfortable working that high up although the views of Seattle were spectacular. That place does not feel like home. Views are awesome but it’s pretty cold.
This 20 million dollar World Class Penthouse is in the West End, the Luxury Zone of Vancouver. In the heart of the Financial District. The most opulent area in not just all of Downtown Vancouver, but in North America if not the world. It's rated world class level for obvious reasons. The things you are describing and are stigmatized about are all concentrated in the DTES. Which is a completely different story and vibe.
@@KewPie-ym2vu "A pair of strangers attacked in downtown Vancouver left one man dead and another with a severed hand on Wednesday morning" This happened literally 7 minutes walking distance from this penthouse just days ago. You need to get real and understand what Vancouver has really become.
@garichar That was on Hamilton and Georgia. It's still some distance away from Howe St. which is where this Penthouse sits. I understand that downtown is small, but those two areas have very different opposing vibes. Hamilton St. is basically where it starts to become sketchy moving eastward. But I do get your concerns. There have been numerous stranger attacks in Vancouver. Most recently the ones you mentioned. It is no secret to those who pay attention. There also was a Japanese cook who worked in Yaletown's Hapa Izakaya that was stabbed / killed by a homeless crazy guy in Gastown after work, earlier this year. Also about 2 years ago a man was stabbed to death by a crazy stranger in broad daylight at the big Starbucks on West Pender / Granville. Then there was that female Japanese international student way back in 2016 who was lured and killed by a local B.C. transient man from Nelson during a daytime stroll near Harbour Centre/ East Hastings. Also there was that news during the pandemic about a lady being stalked by a deranged stranger who was known to police downtown. So I completely get your concerns and I appreciate it 💯👍. But let's also consider the bigger picture here as well. There isn't one perfect utopia on this Earth. Every big city worldwide has its flaws - have their own baggage that rears its ugly head every now and then. Even Los Angeles with all its luxury, with its Rodeo Drive, has an even worse homeless crisis and crime problem than Vancouver. Toronto too. New York too. London England too. The list goes on. Even Surrey and Kelowna have a higher crime index than Vancouver despite having less people. Your concerns are valid. But let's also appreciate the best of what Vancouver has to offer. Regards. 🙂👍
