In this mix of history, journalism, political analysis, and first-person accounts, former chief coroner and Vancouver mayor Larry Campbell, renowned criminologist Neil Boyd, and investigative journalist Lori Culbert, offer a portrait of one of North America's poorest, most drug-challenged neighbourhoods: Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. "A Thousand Dreams" raises provocative questions about the challenges confronting not only Vancouver's Downtown Eastside but also all of North America's major cities and offers concrete, urgently needed solutions, including: Continued support for Insite, the safe injection siteDecriminalization of prostitution and drugsThe transfer of addiction services to the Health Ministry, allowing detox into the medical systemMore government-funded SROs and more affordable social housing
