Centro San Antonio is suggesting a simple solution to reduce crime downtown.
say a man trying to take a cell phone attacked another man with an iron rod at the Walgreens on East Houston Street around 10:15 p.m. Monday. The man with the cell phone then pulled a knife to defend himself, stabbing the suspect. Centro San Antonio Board Chair Trish DeBerry isn't surprised, calling the corner of Navarro and East Houston a continued problem.
DeBerry, along with the Travis Park Coalition for Homeless, has been working to get the bench removed. "The San Antonio Police Department takes downtown safety seriously. Most calls for service in the downtown area are not violent," the agency said in a statement, referencing how the opening of the downtown substation on St. Mary's Street allows officers to have"a faster and more focused response to downtown crime."
"Activities, whether it's Stars and Stripes on Houston Street, whether it's Hemisphere and the catalytic projects that we have going on in downtown, all of that means that we have density of people. And that creates activity, which is important because some of the unsheltered population has a tendency to gather where there's no activity," she said. "At night, when there’s a lot of tourists here, it’s not so bad because there’s more people," she said.
