Pretty much every major city (and many smaller ones) have these issues with poverty, crime, homelessness and urban decay. Last time I was in Minneapolis with a friend driving me around she warned me not to turn my head or look out the window at anyone as we drove through some neighbourhoods towards the downtown, as it would be interpreted as a provocation. Yes Winnipeg has troubles, but we are hardly alone on that matter.
