There are places like that, an area called the downtown eastside resembles your description. Exteme poverty and drugs galore, I've seen it myself.

That area covers 10 square blocks and does not represent British Columbia.

Gangs in BC are a bigger problem, not the gangs you would imagine.

If you have questions about BC I'll answer if I can and at least as I see it.
