While officials say the goal is safer, more usable public spaces, critics argue the crackdown disproportionately impacts the homeless, who make up 63% of those arrested. Police say outreach and resources are part of the strategy, but enforcement may escalate if help isn’t accepted. The intensified patrols, set to continue through the year, are part of a larger push to revitalize the area and tackle crime. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
