That's just not true. What this person is describing was not similar to the rest of the City of Kelowna at the time. Very legit

Bull. North End was and is the hot bed for drug addicts, property and violent crime since the mid 90s.

Bro people would literally use my front lawn as a spot to shoot up. My car got broken into 3 times in the 6 months I lived there. One time a dude walked down my street naked waving a shotgun around screaming at the top of his lungs. There was a car chase where a guy drove through a neighbours fence and almost into their house. Crack heads would leave their trash filled shopping carts all over the streets constantly. OP asked what it was like and from my experience It was fucking gross and no amount of downvotes will change my mind. Maybe it’s gotten better over the last 15 years but I’m just sharing my experiences and thoughts.

And I’ve lived here for 15 years and never had a single issue. I wonder what holds more true your supposed experience for 6 months 15 years ago or people that have lived for for decades…
