A large Canadian city with more crime than any other in North America per capita. They say its one of the top 3 places to live... but thats only if your rich. The home of the 2010 Olympics. Most people are lower middle class drug addicts. Cocaine, crystal meth, marijuana, crack, all surprisingly popular with the entire lower mainland population. Think Washington, D.C... but in Canada. Nice govenment and media perception.
Vancouver: "I live in a nice neigborhood, and still robberies, B&E's, and auto theft happen in broad daylight".
Oh... I forgot to mention how pleased people are with our low "gun related" homicide rate. You dont need guns to kill somebody.

A city in southwest Washington of the United States that I live in. Not known for much except it has a cool place to go to called the Lucid Dream Machine and Amazing Stories. One is a gaming place and the other is a comic shop. A city very few know about since it has nothing really mentionable to notice it for.
My name is Gabe and I live in Vancouver. That's all there is to it, nothing special, so now I'm going to go to the Lucid Dream Machine where you can play games. It's much more interesting than this city.

A church inside a former Kmart.
That's the summation of this place based on an actual establishment. I get the sense the hoakey small town center like any old thyme town center has been abandoned to tiny gift shops while the suburbs were built up around it. Life there is a purgatory for grown up suburban kids where they drive from their apartment block to a gas station, to a office block, to Applebees, and back again. They watch Netflix and wait to die, keeling over from a broken heart 2 weeks after retirement realizing what I just said.

A depressing place, not enough words to describe of how much of a cesspool and shit-hole is. Iv never lived in Tacoma, Washington or other depressing places like Vancouver, Washington.
Im sure there are more depressing places out there, but Vancouver from personal experience takes the cake. No jobs, an abundance of illiterate pieces of white trash, food stamp abusers, ignorant people who seem they have spent their whole life living in a cave. A bunch of wanksters and wiggers, spoonfed bitches who post pics on facebook, myspace, and other bullshit social networks drinking a can of beer proclaiming they are hood and hard.
King of meth addicts and copious amounts of drug abusers, bad weather, a surplus of rain almost 90 percent of the year or more, no entertainment. Downtown Vancouver is dead like a grave, just a bus stop and some drug junkies, pan handlers and some stupid cafes with the greyhound bus station.

Where can I find a place that has no hope or promise and I am 100 percent depressed? That is easy that is
