This may not be the battle to focus on, but this is a chicken-and-egg scenario. If you want places like this to improve, you have to start somewhere. Otherwise they will continue to be terrible places to experience.
It's not realistic to change everything at once, so I do think we should focus on (1) locations where that interaction will make a difference, and (2) where the battles can realistically be won. This one fails on both counts, so I would be willing to let it go.
