Is it sure that stepped up police presence is that bad? It sounds like both crime and punishment are actually pretty low, so everyone’s getting what they asked for! Win win?
Not "uncomfortable" but rather unsafe, as the article itself says: “People need to feel safe. I’m not sure that they do — I know they don’t.” I agree it's hard for cops to address this--as long as cops are involved at all, people are bound to be more guarded and anxious...

Baltimore LRT should operate more frequently, its stations should be improved and staffed, and their environs (as well as the trains themselves) should be *impeccably* clean and safe, the aspiration of other businesses in the area. It's not a matter for cops, but for the MTA.
