CANADA: East Hastings & Chinatown Vancouver

See...here it is again. 

Vancouver's vanishing Chinatown....that's East Hastings the worst neighborhood in Canada.

Like this, Chinatown is from 100 years ago...the place is vanishing because the Chinese people left. The people who made that a century ago are not there to maintain it anymore and their kids or grandchildren have moved out of Chinatown and integrated into the regular cities, then they are saying they don't need Chinatown anymore because all the stuff they used to sell there is just regular items sold at Wal Mart and regular stores and it is no longer a specialty location. 

What they have to decide in Vancouver is if all the Chinese people leave and integrate in regular Canada then do they still have Chinatown?

Like are they going to preserve Chinatown or let it die to the history books if Chinese people don't live there now.

I mean it's a big decision, do they preserve Chinatown for it's historical value or let it fall apart when there are no Chinese people left there to maintain it?

I can understand wanting to keep it for it's landmark and historical value but you're getting into a situation where the government is going to have to preserve it and pay Chinese people to work there, run stores and maintain it if all the younger kids generations left the area.

Now that is where all the hobos and junkies moved in to East Hastings and are trashing Chinatown after all the Chinese people went to live in regular Canada.

There problem here is if they decide to keep it then it will have to be forced preserved by the government and then they need to get rid of all these so called "skid row" areas like East Hastings and make all the squadding and bumming illegal and actual enforce it to remove them from the streets.
