It’s astonishing how much the mood changes if you go from 8th and market where all the homeless people like to hang out by the subway stop to three blocks south at 8th and Walnut. The city desperately needs this project to succeed.

Sure but plopping an arena there without addressing the issues won't change much in the long run and it could actually make the problems worse e.g. panhandling and homeless congregation could increase. I do think that the pro arena crowd is giving this project just a wee bit too much credit when it comes to being the savior of the area.
It's a project I am not passionate about either way for a multitude of reasons so I am still pretty neutral on the subject at the moment.
