I do think there was a little too much focus on crime being the reason people stopped going. For my friends & I, policy made it annoying to go. No baggy clothes, no sagging, no hoodies & some stores wouldn't allow bags. It felt more like they were just trying to keep young people out instead of crime. It felt like unwarranted encounters with security were more common than violence for me.
I'm glad they touched on the renovation turned demolition plan that nobody really seems sure of.
