I wonder what happened to that "pilot"... from 2014!
More people on the street will help. The pandemic did not. I've never felt "unsafe" downtown though I've come across my share of dudes with attitude, but I can see how the image is a turnoff. Especially for people smaller than me, or who haven't been acclimatized to Hamilton. (edit: to be honest, I'm more turned off by the bible-thumper spouting religious aphorisms outside the James/King entrance to Jackson Square, to a limited audience... there's a right to free speech, but amplified such that you can hear it blocks away? Eff off.)
Fact is, every medium to large size city has this issue. Smaller ones too.
This particular development is a "first" in an area that has been neglected far too long. I wish it had more variety in its design too, and I've probably posted a disparaging comment or two about it and its ilk in the past, but I think it is a great start in a part of town that has not had starts of this kind.
I'd buy a unit were I in the market.
