Would be genuinely interested in methods for making an area appear less safe

(Dons evil thinking cap) I was considering starting a service to truck homeless people to a neighborhood where you want to buy property. It would be called Goober (rhymes with Uber)...

Nevada beat me to it though: http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2015/10/nevada-settles-busin...

Things are getting so ridiculous and government shows absolutely no interest in doing anything about it, if I won the lottery I'd actually consider doing things like this just to be a massive societal troll.

You may have to lobby local councils to make that legal first. In Westminster (a borough in central London), it's illegal to sleep on the street and illegal to "give people free food" on the street.

Oh easy. Go sleep on the sidewalk. The Justins will be beside themselves.

>Would be genuinely interested in methods for making an area appear less safe

why instead not try to make some non-nice non-safe area a nice and safe one?

[icebraining]

You mean, help to gentrify some other place?

Would bringing tech jobs and education into some mid-west be a gentrification?
