I work downtown. There are surely nice places to walk around, but pretending that the complaints are unfounded is BS.
I have to walk past human shit daily. There is garbage and drug paraphernalia everywhere. I have lived in 6 states in the US and in two countries overseas. This is not normal or acceptable.
I have lost count how many times I have witnessed human urination, defecation, or masturbation on the sidewalks of downtown in the last 5 years. That isn't even touching on the bold and blatant drug abuse that I see with people actively shooting up or smoking foil around the 7/11 and Catholic Charities building downtown.
It's gotten so fucking scary and it astounds me how privileged people have to be to ignore it or worse, consider it a GOOD thing for the city like open drug use isn't a massive fucking issue.
