Lots of downstream effects on construction and retail from those two things, before we even talk about whether the current approach to crime is satisfactory.

Oh, I genuinely think there there’s a chance that the entire country collapses within the next few decades but for now I’m just looking at the short term wins that hopefully add up to some sense of stability - but that’s a whole different discussion
Again, you have to take the good news when it comes. Logically, if all of things things you mentioned added up to an article that essentially said “retail on Walnut is packing up and leaving, get out while you can”, I could see your point but that’s clearly not the case.
There always have and always will be storm clouds on the horizon but somehow things are never quite as bad as they seem.
