St Catharines was much better in the 90s.
I have had my gate broken latch and all, my mobility scooter charger stolen, coffee thrown on my windows and door and harassment of homeless woman banging on my bedroom window which is at ground level. I have had iphone stolen as well as a wallet. There are dents on my door and scratches gouged out of the wood frame of my door. I have PTSD so this is quite startling for me. They have bump keys and are envious so they steal. The Niagara Regional Police dont take things seriously and these entitled punks have more rights than anyone. It is disgusting the garbage thrown aroubd and piled up on porches. Also property managements are a koke and do NOTHING. The city also does nothing when a property issue is reported like sewage smell inside units etc
These gang stalking targeting is criminal harassment! Yet noone cares to help or enfirce the law. Its not the garden cuty its the garbage city. It really is getting too much!

People are on drugs assaulting the vulnerable , lack of police precense and when you see them their speeding without lights or sirens on. Armed burglaries , theft from property . Alot of hoodlums taking what they can.

The city is one of the nicest in country and is generally considered a retirement area since the closure of Hayes Dana and GM. The government has added the MTO building, an new arena and the FirstOntario Performing Arts Center, not withstanding some very large Niagara Regional Police stations. The surrounding areas have much to offer in the way of fruit belt farms, tourism, wineries, the locks and schools; namely Brock University and Niagara College. Unfortunately, most jobs are seasonal and induce a feast or famine environment.
In short, if you're looking for a place to retire, the urban sprawl is moving from the GTA and Hamilton in an effort to find affordable housing and proximity for commuting. Ergo, demographic shift and gentrification of community is rising with an added bonus of multiculturism.
In summary the area is gorgeous, the houses and properties are cleaner and the previous comments stand out as truisms of our classist Canada.
mayor ignoring homeless problem on Jun 26, 2021:
This city allows camping across from Start Me Up. Does not care about the residents or taxpayers.
If you are planning on moving to St.Catharines, dont. Full of homeless people and politicians that dont care.
Just bring your tent and camp at city hall.

Getting better, more people, becoming nearly as diverse as GTA-regions but the south end of the city is still dogshit in some areas

All the poverty and crime from east hamilton is getting spread here. Getting wore by the year, crime is taking over the city slowly
