Is the area perfect nope. But the issues around there are city wide. Time square has lots of homeless as well it’s not called blighted. This is just a piece to justify the state using its power to kick people and small businesses out of the area. Remember the number 1 rule for NYC poors and plebs must not be seen.

Times Square is nowhere near as sketchy as right around Penn Station. I work in an office at 35th and I also work in Broadway theaters, and I feel much safer on foot in Times Square.
That said, I think blighted refers to the buildings. But the area is super sketchy.
