Yeah, a lot of needle stabbings. As stated, violence is almost minimal.

Increases in break-ins were part of an overall trend upwards across the City Centre, and vehicular break-ins actually decreased.

So you are still wrong.

EDIT: HA if you go back through the historical data, crime has increased in recent quarters but is still lower for most types of crime across the City Centre than it was in 2016! It just looks like certain types of crime (such as drug use) have increased in - surprise, surprise - the 250 m zone around the SIS.

The crime stats from the area look good because there's a consistent police presence that wasn't there before serving as a deterrent. You can't just read stats from a report in a bubble and not consider how much more of the city's CPS budgets are now dedicated to maintaining a presence in these areas. Obviously it would be an entirely different story if the police expenditure on that area was the same as it was before the site was launched, which is most certainly not the case at all.
