When I resided in Pittsburgh last year a couple of 7-11s downtown attracted plenty of bums and lowlifes loitering, especially in the morning. Same for one in Center City Philly. Replacing it with something more upscale and an owner who takes no BS can help. But at the end of the day the city and the ghetto mentality consuming it needs to enforce the law and promote a good QOL. EDIT: Downvoted for being right. The city has a low class ghetto problem which allows crap to occur. Acknowledge it and solve it.
