...no fence or gate has been necessary in the 40 or so years the apartment building has been there. I wonder what has changed now?
My hunch would be too many rich condo and apartment dwellers.

Wowzers. It’s odd they didn’t have that fenced off already.
Was that space used as a public amenity or square, zoomer? I can’t picture it.
Isn't this part of the walkway through to Mason St.

It just might be. It looks like there's a path along the edge of the new-build.

The path from Pandora to Franklin Green runs directly alongside the new building. It was already fenced off from the older apartment building's driveway/parking.

How is that even news in Victoria anymore? It would be more newsworthy if a day goes by when it doesn't happen.

What is it with the guns at the hotels? Is it just drug dealers, or are the non-dealer homeless arming up, too?

My dad and all his buddies messed around all the time with guns well into their twenties. I suspect that my dad exaggerated a bit but he claimed to have slept with his rifle all the way from Normandy to Holland.

Every time I see someone on social media trying to split hairs over it being a replica I see a point being completely missed.
The reason for having a replica firearm (nerf gun or otherwise) and not storing it properly at home and using it at a airlift facility is only one:
For intimidation. Plain, simple.
Intimidation for various reasons: to unlawfully gain something (robbery) or to establish fear (get others to leave you alone, perhaps to gain power through fear)
Intimidation in this way is not good for society and for mental health at large. Housed or not housed.
There's not a wholesome reason to have a replica firearm outside of a home or paintball field facility (or similar).
Is there? I feel like I'm going crazy every time I see someone defending that it'
s a replica or not a real gun.

They also have fewer responsibilities than 11 year olds who are normally expected to go to school, do homework and help out with house chores.
Depends on which services they access and whether those services have rules. Having no rules helps nobody.

There's the ones who think its badass.
Then there's the one's who will make any and all excuses under the umbrella of "crimes of survival".

As Canadians we've flipped attitudes about firearms almost overnight. Heck, I don't think we actually have flipped attitudes. We've flipped attitudes for certain categorizations of people. First we bought into the false categorizations, and then we bought into the flipped attitudes about those categorizations. We'll still call the cops when a guy and his kid are using a toy pellet gun in the backyard. We'll still chew out small children for their insensitivity when they're playing with toy guns.
If replica firearms are legit now then surely it would be fine if my wife carries a replica firearm around to defend herself? Nope, that would still be objectionable, distasteful, unjustifiable, etc. It's okay for the guy with a criminal record a mile long to be flashing a replica firearm (or even a real firearm), but my wife has no business doing the same.
Summary:
"There's no such thing as a responsible gun owner"... unless the individual in question has demonstrated a spectacular lack of personal responsibility for his entire adult life. That guy should be able to do whatever he likes, no hassles.
It's all just politics and making people crazy with cognitive dissonance, double-standards, categorizations and de-individualization, social division, etc.
