I've been lurking there, and read that. It was harsh.
There are strong opinions about what to do about this problem, but given how society-wide it is, cities (and developers) are limited in what they can do. And I think we need a more polite (but frank) conversation about it.
Once the arena is redone, I think the increased activity will lead to lower issues of homelessness and vagrancy that are especially pervasive in that part of downtown. The activity will not solve the underlying problem though, and it will probably just move elsewhere. (gawd forbid that it moves to one of the "suburban" cores though... that would be an anathema)
