What happens when you put a $400-million condo project in the heart of one of Canada’s worst neighbourhoods? The Post's Brian Hutchinson speaks with Ron Nurwisah about spending a month in Vancouver’s Woodward’s building to see what kind of impact it’s having on the Downtown Eastside. Is it South Africa’s time to shine during this month's World Cup?
