Downtown sounds like such a happening place. I guess if you turn your library into a homeless shelter, offer free meals to all-comers, refuse to enforce camping bans or pretty much any other "quality of life" crime and fill an area with alcohol establishments the outcome should be predictable. Way to go, clown car city council and mismanager Ruiz.

On a related note, the riverfront was again filled with illegal campers vandalizing the public land, harassing innocent people, breaking bottles on the bike path and committing arson in the community gardens.
