Not true at all, that square attracts all sort of broke people, homeless people, people with mental health issues, gangs, security guards that hang out in groups of 3 and 4 instead of 2 at time patrolling the square like they were hired to do, and above all, straight out shady peoples selling and doing drugs in plain view of cameras.
