1. "Depends. Sixth street element has trended more and more hood" In response to Reply # 0
Folks were always wild on sixth, now they’re starting to carry Homelessness is a big problem, but that’s true no matter where you are But other than that ... meh. Austin downtown isn’t like most downtowns. It’s getting a skyline over the last few years, but traditionally it’s been government/college town So it’s closer to your Columbia, SC and the feel of that than it is your downtown Atlanta and Georgia Tech.
Hope that helps.

Blight or something. It’s a tough call. The shelter and the police department are like a block or two from each other. Folks will loiter near a shelter until let in time anywhere. There’s like four on the same block. Greyhound station is a mile away. So there’s a whole infrastructure and incentive structure of transient activity in a small area.
