Possibly a factor, but I’d still put a lot more value on the viewpoint of people who actually spend a lot of time in the area than those who rarely or never visit.
As an aside, the recent crime stats for the Market that accompanied the stories on the new police presence in the Market didn’t actually seem to show a worsening from 2019. Not surprisingly crime went down during the pandemic lockdowns, but mostly just seemed to return to pre-pandemic levels.
