Not sure how much of that I buy, but it does make sense in a "police have given up" sort of way.

I'd rather it be moved away from there because that place is important for many commuters. Sometimes I walk from the west end of downtown to work and catch the train there. So far I've encountered a murder scene where someone got shot over a bad drug deal with police tape marking everything off, a murder on the C-Train last week, Constant crack dealing and using going on, and persistant scum that make many commuters (especiallly older women) feel nervious. It's about time the citizenry form a coalition and just have 20-30 people there all the time to make sure there are eyes on everything.
