I’ve seen this in Vancouver, Portland, and SF. Not saying it isn’t worse in Victoria, just that all these cities have a similar political leaning and policies, and have induced the same criminal behaviors.

Did the policies really induce the criminal behaviors?

[blackeyeblitzar]

Maybe induce is the wrong word? I’m not sure. What’s your perspective?

Do sidewalks induce people to walk to the store?

Yes. In Portland, the surrounding counties have much lower rates of issues.
