Something needs to be done about downtown...this is OUR city. The police have their hands tied so they end up having to expend all their energy chasing down drivers with a couple beers in their system instead of dealing with the BS from all the "travelers" downtown. I can't walk 5 ft without stepping on someone making a bed on the sidewalk or demanding my change or food from me. I get insulted and threatened constantly by smug, deranged addicts that seem more self-entitled than struggling. Half of them are on heroin or meth and the others have serious mental health issues. One kid was threatening shop owners that if they didnt give him money store windows would be broken. These fools think these are their corners??? Some need to be taught a lesson. We were kids on these corners years before these pan-handling scrubs were even out of diapers and we had respect and made our own way. We liked to gather because we loved music and community...now its being a threat or a parasite. SICK OF IT
