From Facebook, Ken Neubeck:
Incidentally, the City's focus on "safety of downtown" is always totally silent about the goings on around the Barmuda Triangle where college kids and other housed young adults get drunk, pee and vomit outside, start and get in fights, and accost women. I know a number of women who will not go downtown without a male because they have been followed to their cars, hit on, and made to feel unsafe. The characterization of people who hang out downtown during the day as THE threat to be dealt with--by prohibiting smoking, banning dogs, or whatever--ignores a whole body of housed people who can be even more scary to women in their inebriated state.
