Info & News On Vancouver Escorts.

Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside is often referred to as “Canada’s poorest postal code.” While it is not especially dangerous, it is an extremely poor neighborhood that is suffering from a massive health epidemic. A poverty cluster-fuck, if you will. According to a United Nations report, 30 percent of the neighborhood’s population suffers from HIV and [fewer than] 70 percent have Hep C. At least one-third are intravenous drug users, with countless more addicted to crack cocaine.
However, the neighborhood’s spirit is very strong and benefits from a lot of amazing community activism. Because it is so dense, and so close to the city’s downtown, it also attracts a lot of media and public attention.
As businesses closed and welfare failed to keep up with inflation, the neighborhood became overrun with drug abuse, homelessness and prostitution. And even though roughly 200 people were dying from overdoses every year, it took years before governments would approve a safe-injection site, which the federal government is now trying to shut down.

Sullivan’s house was the first in Vancouver to be forfeited under the Civil Forfeiture Act. In referring the home to the B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office, Vancouver police gave a detailed account of the site they claimed was known for drug dealing, violence and prostitution, and used as a staging area for robberies around the Lower Mainland.
Insp. Brad Desmarais of the gang and drug section says police were at the home constantly, and fed-up residents were demanding action.
“That home was a chronic problem for the police,” said Desmarais. “There were over 500 calls to police (over a five-year period).”
…
“If someone is an irresponsible landlord and running a flop house where there’s prostitution and drugs, and if the courts believe they know or ought to know and chose not to do anything about it, then they act.”

… I was no threat,” she says of having her home taken away while she was a heroin addict and oblivious to the legislation in place to strip a person of their primary asset. “I wasn’t doing anything illegal. I am not a criminal.”
Shortly before her home was seized, Sullivan, 42, had it boarded up and stayed with friends. She says she did that to get away from the parade of greaseballs — some fleeing the law, others with stolen property they wanted to fence, others simply looking for a warm place to stay and do drugs.
Sullivan was given a chance to contest the forfeiture, but no one in the legal community seemed interested, she said.

Virtual Vancouver is one of UV’s worlds, but it isn’t nearly as popular as its main attraction, Red Light Center, which is primarily marketed as an adult site on largely porn website. The majority of its new users join for the sexual aspects. Very little in UV caters towards art, music, entertainment, and business. Unlike Second Life, you’re not going to see galleries or concerts and the limited building options and inability to write scripts means there are very few business options (i.e. virtual prostitution, DJing, limited clothing design for avatars that cannot be customized, and limited home decorating); UV’s platform simply isn’t sophisticated enough to handle it. And that image is a false representation; the avatars DO NOT look like that.

Fernando Antonio Benavidez, 31, Ronald Handwerk, 35, Rogelio Leon Zuniga, 33 and siblings Robert Lee Dunson, 27, and Jackie Lynn Dunson, 33, have been charged.
The prosecution is seeking the death penalty for three of the accused in the murder: Robert Dunson, Handwerk and Zuniga.
The two others could face life in prison without the possibility of parole, said Michael Jeandron, spokesman for the Office of the District Attorney of Riverside County in California.
A judge determined this week during a preliminary hearing that there was sufficient evidence for a trial in the case.
The district attorney alleges that the defendants set out to rob and kill Dobbs.
Court documents obtained by The Vancouver Sun allege that Benavides lured Dobbs to the apartment of Jackie Dunson, his ex-girlfriend and a prostitute, after meeting the Canadian at a casino in Coachella.

Olympics Boosted Brothels’ Business in Vancouver
Business at a brother near downtown Vancouver tripled during the Winter Olympics. n However, instead of a surge of foreign visitors, the brothel’s owner, Sexy Nina, said that she found that local clients were excited by the Games’ competitive spirit.
She told AOL News:
“The Games gave us the desire and willingness to connect, the energy to move. What an amazing two weeks!”
Interestingly, some street workers reported that business was slow. The slowdown in street business, however, could possibly be blamed on increased police presence.
Sex work is legal in Vancouver, but some associated activities, such as running a brothel, is not. However, the Vancouver Police Department tends to leave sex workers alone.

And more than likely it will be a goal.
Crosby, who at 26 has already won a Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins, brought the puck down the ice against the United States team about 8 minutes into sudden-death overtime.
Crosby passed the puck over to teammate Jarome Iginia, who battled U.S. defenseman Ryan Suter for the puck. As Crosby hovered around the net, like a dog looking for a bone, he took the feed from Iginia and fired a Crosby special past Ryan Miller, the best player in the Winter Olympic men’s ice hockey tournament.
As the puck entered the red light district, Crosby began his celebration that set off a celebration for an entire nation. It was threefold – a celebration, a relief and the climax to one of the greatest hockey games ever played.

Susan Davis is a Vancouver-based sex worker who advocates for the decriminalization of prostitution and also collaborates with police in sensitivity training.
…
“There were police on foot and in cars, all over the usual sex worker neighborhoods,” she said. The presence may have kept potential new clients away, but it also secured rowdy areas, and no sex workers reported violence or abuse at the hands of a client during the Games.
…
Several women in the industry had been concerned that out-of-town sex workers might be more than just competition. “They don’t know how to operate safely in the city,” Susan Davis, a longtime city sex worker, said before the Games.
But Molly G, a Montreal-area sex worker who took the bus to Vancouver for the Olympics, is returning to her hometown this week with nothing but positive impressions of the city and her two-week adventure. “Some local girls here showed me the ropes, and the clients were a lot of fun,” she said. “It was just a good time, and I never felt at risk.”
