It's not a matter of fear, it's a matter of the image of our downtown, the vast majority of which is grayscape populated by the homeless. Until the they and the criminals are dealt with the idea of a great downtown is a pipe dream.

I'm not as avid a traveler as some on this board, but i have been to alot of different cities.  ATL, LA, NYNY, Newark, WPB FL, Miami, NO, etc.  I have never been to any city and not seen homeless people.  Thinking that building shops, hotels, or any businesses in general, will run them away is stretching it.  Homeless people will be everywhere because they are "home" less....ok ok that was dry.  All in all, just ignore them but that doesnt have any affect on whether downtown can be vibrant or not.  Getting the business up and running and having the people come there to buy is the only obstacle to overcome.
