Yes, some areas of downtown at certain times of the day are improving a lot. You generally don't see as many homeless people during the day in the CBD, but as it has gotten colder recently I have noticed a few more.

Hopefully the new space will be done soon and will help. It is not only very negative for downtown, particularly Chinatown, to have so many people out wandering around, but it is also inhumane for them especially when it is colder.

Talking with one service that I do volunteer work with and they indicated their numbers were down a bit. The dinner service we did 2 weeks ago however had more people. Normally from about 90-120 this time was 138.
