A home for the homeless discussion (a thread about it)
Frankly, a lot of these issues will be solved as the area is redeveloped from student housing (where the residents accept vagrancy and don’t report issues, and so enforcement is never there) to apartments and condos and mixed-use areas populated by middle class professionals who have a stake in the area. These people report issues and don’t accept crime in their midst. It’s easier from an enforcement perspective if you constantly have caring and concerned eyes on the public space.
