re: How is State Street so sketchy?

landlords don't care as long as the units are rented, and the shitty ones are cheap. Slowly but surely, they are being bought and renovated. There is definitely an initiative by the Northgate Merchants Assoc to revitalize that area as less sketchy.

I would love to get rid of all the pan handling bums out there. Between the local bums and the transplant nomad gutter punks, it's annoying. i can't even walk to the Chimes without being asked for money by the exact same fricking people every day.
