Is Vancouver safe to walk around and most importantly is West Vancouver BC safe to live and retire my parents? - vancouver

IM planning on living conditions in West Vancouver. From what I have seen it online one of the best places to live, but also a lot of crimes. Because I learned that there are many house burglaries, murders, and this kind of gang warfare. It is also dangerous to walk or drive by car from the west to Gastown. If West Van is safe, where would you recommend is the safest, and if not, where is the safest city. Thank you!
