Might not be a problem for you or me, because we don't engage in these services. But for the tourist from the midwest, this can be a big problem, and it shouldn't be happening.

As I said, run some undercover officers out there, make some arrests, throw some of the buskers in county jail for 30 days, and watch this all rapidly improve.
If you fear or don't like what goes on downtown, DONT GO THERE.
