Vancouver neighbors blame transitional housing for rise in crime and drugs near Fourth Plain

Neighbors near Northeast Fourth Plain Boulevard and Northeast 78th Avenue are fed up with the crime and drug activity in the area.

Many people who lived there have owned their homes for decades and say the crime has just gotten worse.

According to neighbors, transitional apartments owned by the Vancouver Housing Authority are the reason to blame. Multiple neighbors tell KATU the streets are littered with trash, there are constant drug deals, and random cars that stay parked on the streets for months.
