Murals and minimal graffiti: VPD and business leaders tour San Francisco Chinatown

While it is much larger than Vancouver’s Chinatown and not next door to a challenging neighbourhood like the Downtown Eastside, Vancouver police and business leaders are hoping to learn from San Francisco’s Chinatown, which has few signs of street disorder or graffiti.

During a tour on August 30, the Vancouver delegates saw a community of seniors and families where merchants have a close relationship with the San Francisco Police Department.
