I don't feel safe as an adult living in downtown seattle due to the homeless population (this person's experience 100% matches mine [0]) and homeless people are going to naturally gravitate towards high density areas where there are more people to panhandle from.
Also, it's much riskier to commit a crime in a low density population where you can be recognized much more easily.
