We received a number of responses to intern Sean Taormina’s cover story “Entertainment and incarceration in Greektown.”

There’s multiple problems in Greektown. First, and foremost is what is the cities plans for homelessness? Greektown is a high-traffic area, with high potential for charity with passersby, but the numbers are high. Police presence is heavy, but why is crime so high? How many fights are there ACTUALLY, or are we adding to the numbers less than “bright” folks that choose to hang out down there high or drunk with the hook posted right there. It’s not so much a simple “they’re hooligans down there” as much generalized problems under higher scrutiny via higher badge presence, with the occasional fight in a confined area. —@bheard5, Instagram

If you defund police, that means you cannot add more officers to the department. So people bitch about the presence of police, and then bitch about the lack of police presence. —@ stewy9588, Instagram

Great article and the pictures really bring it to life. —@Ludvig_Prinn, Twitter
