I've worked in Eugene Downtown for forty years. It has become a place where two worlds collide. We have establishments with positive energy trying to make it a fun place to visit, stroll and shop. Added to this mix are loiterers with gear strewn around street corners, sleeping on sidewalks and dogs in spite of the ban. The flurry of fixes that occurred, power washing, more EPD presence etc; was short-lived. After a week or so everything reverted back to two worlds colliding. There are times when downtown is a pleasant place to be, other times it is disturbingly creepy.
