Yeah, there are a couple of hundred fentanyl addicts and ongoing sales of stolen goods, and other such problems the city can't/won't do anything about. But it's scary to suburbanites and the old and fragile, so now there'll be no bus stops there. Ignore the problem, just drive right past, but the symptom is solved — no more worried drivers or passengers.

With so many bums and rabble everywhere, what's weird is that it's still a busy neighborhood for small businesses — Little Saigon, it's called. There are at least twenty restaurants at that corner, 12th & Jackson, and it's gonna be a pain in my ankles to walk a few extra blocks to get there for lunch.

Chu Minh Tofu — it's all vegan and I'm a pork-eater, but I love it.
