    Police won’t solve the problem because a few years ago, they chose a stance of abandoning downtown. Then again, all they did was arrest the addict and let them go later, sometimes even roughing them up.

    In the past month, I’ve seen a significant uptick on plainclothes workers helping addicts clean up.
