AboutGeoff Wickens Expertise I have a fairly vast knowledge of the history of The City of Vancouver, BC. All my knowledge has been learned through on-hands experience. I am apt to answer most any question in regards to the history of the city, the construction of its bridges and the history behind some of its buildings.
Experience I drove cab for 5 years and in that time gave numerous city tours with full historical backgrounds. I have a thirst for history and an appetite for knowledge.

Question Hello,
I am so glad that there is someone that I can talk to. Ok
I am planning on moving to Vancouver next year and I wanted to know were is the best place for someone like me; who's 25 and will be jobless and will be living by herself, live. Is there a neighborhood that I should stay away from especially being black and female. I have always lived in safe areas I never been to LA by myself let alone I can count how many time I have been...not a lot (I know I need to get out more).I would really appreciate the information.
Thank You :)
Answer Are you planning on staying in the city of Vancouver or one of the suburbs?
There is no really dangerous part of the lower mainland. I mean, you don't want to go into skid row or anything only because that is not the better part of town. Vancouver has a very low capital crime rate (the lower mainland has a population of 2.5 million and we have had less than a dozen murders so far this year.
Let me know what you will be doing and wo what city you will be relocating and i can help you out farther.
