Seattle has launched a new effort to crack down on open-air drug dealing and other crimes downtown. As part of this "9 ½ Block Strategy," bus stops and newspaper boxes are being moved, alleys restricted and vacant parking lots fenced off to deter criminal activity. Will the new plan work? How will the area's homeless be impacted? Will the illicit activity simply move elsewhere? How are businesses responding?
