What is the difference between Vancouver Island and Vancouver B.C? Which do you live? Is Vancouver B.C a dangerous place like people claim? Or is that only Downtown East Side?

Vancouver, BC is situated on the mainland and Vancouver Island Bc is the island beside it. About an hour and a half ferry ride will get you from Victoria, bc to Tsawwassen and then about a 30 minute drive into Vancouver. I now live in Victoria (where I've lived all my life) but for the past year I lived in Vancouver. I believe that any place can be dangerous, depending on many things. There are many beautiful areas in Vancouver like Stanley Park, North Vancouver is beautiful as well. The East Side can be dangerous. The homelessness problem there is one of the worst in North America. but the city as a whole is beautiful and incredibly diverse.
