I don't think it's had "the opposite effect". More like no effect or not much. The whole city is getting much worse. What you notice on Market St. is pretty true everywhere. I was struck by a poster on the Nextdoor site who was assaulted by an addled street person (I hate calling them "homeless" because who knows if they are?) next to the "Salesforce" Transit Center and chased for a block or more. The city's most expensive condo--the 181 Fremont penthouse--is there.
Anyway, the main reason I care about development on Market St specifically, aside from my general interest in the subject, is the hope--so far in vain--that it will "improve" that important street. And there's certainly a LOT of development happening even if it's not having much effect.
