Which neighbourhoods of Vancouver should be avoided?
You have to be a real clean cut wuss to think there are any unsafe neighborhoods in Vancouver. Everyone loves to dump on East Hastings because its filled with people who walk around hopped up on god knows what all the time--that and beggars looking for money or help (or just a sympathetic ear). I used to be one of these scared-by-east-hastings people in high school but then I moved downtown and quickly realized it is not scary at all.
If you really want neighborhoods to avoid, you should try some of the non-touristy cities in Mexico or other Central or South American countries.

I took a wrong turning while visiting Gas Town, just one street
away was well dodgy.. but the same could happen anywhere
these days , its still a nice place to visit.

Well none of Vancouver is super unsafe. I mean I wouldn't go walking around at night down in some parts of downtown and surrounding areas. When you say avoided do you mean like to live in or? More info would help please!

Avoid anything East of the Main Post Office.

Avoid the areas surrounding east hastings, from Main to Nanaimo ... east of nanaimo it gets remarkably better, some nice neighborhoods, with lower rents than other parts of vancouver.

anywhere downtown, mainly east hastings, its very dodgy:)
