This is the Brixton Station Quarter.
Imagine the YouTube walker was not a cam walker, but the cam operater of a gang having their reconnaissance run to attack the quarter. He did not come alone, but with some mates in different clothing and showing different attitudes to check the area.
They catalogize the shops, check which can be stolen and trick stolen from, they check which will be hit by testo suits to signe new product distribution contracts, sell parts of their business, estimate the turn over and as soon as having hands on the books start ripping of the clients by manipulated scales, worse products and higher prices until noone comes anymore.
The bikies, rough sleepers and small groups of first passive, then actively hostile men and women create a climate of fear against the local heros pushing them back off the streets to run them.
In a Cyberpunk world, the IRA Provos would create a Provos Cell locally. They do basicaly the same, but for and not against the region. Which shops are closed and can be reopend? Which products are missing to the comunity? Low cost, but good quality music instruments, second hand record shops, independent label music CDs and related art work, music festival ticket brokers and trip booking, bus ticket and shared ride service brokers, low cost hang out theme cafes like the Blues Cafe Amsterdam from Brixton Jamaican History Resto, to Dubstep and Drum'n'Bass Music Cafe, Fish'n'Chips All English Tiny Pub, Fast Food Buger Take'a'Way 'n EatIn, there are plenty of possibilities to create a living for the locals and related humans, if they can focus on running the shop by having a shared booky service, tax declaration office and even business car sharing instead working all on their own next to each other to later connect that community to other that have a Provos Cell undergrund from Dublin to Londonderry and Belfast or Saint-Denis.
Installing additional street furniture from benches, trees to fountains and in slightly off spots ramps and futsal goals well can happen based on a copy shop paper work. Who'd remove it, if it makes good sence? Free, but password secured wifi mash networks, Quarter Bulletins and finally a webspace world dedicated to the quarter life being well protectey by after ultimo ratio Sten Guns in the hands of the Provos Deadheads will keep the bad off turff, by creating a parallel universe for the real locals that most guests cannot see or access and The Bad therefore not conpquer the quarter.
Instead of having the local heros pushed away or publically stand up, we'd create more spots to fit in, more places humans hang out, more atmosphere, more rest and business, more street life by living in the streets. The Town Bench and the Cafe Table will unite with the in all sweat resting skater next to the ramp with each other in good peace in many Good Fridays to come.
Finally, Scotland Yard finds some No ain No Answer typa guy, floting in the Themse River with a bullet through head, heart and Kneecap.
