Conde Nast Traveller in this coming issue rated Vancouver as the #2 destination to visit in all of the Americas (Victoria, BC was rated #1). That is the largest travel mag out there and they used a bunch of criteria to evaluate the choices and Vancouver beat Cancun, Las Vegas, NYC...

Its not fair to look at specific incidents and draw sweeping conclusions. We do have a huge drug and homeless problem that causes us to have the highest property crime rate in North America per capita (I believe Miami, FL. was #2 and was way behind), but with regard to murders, muggings, shootings...Vancouver is a very safe place. Take away the crazed druggies and it would even more so.
