Do you mean people loitering? If so, the fix is to build such spaces everywhere so everybody isn’t attracted to the same space that then acquires a certain reputation. Several of the supposed downsides of interior spaces are, while not desirable in and of themselves, evidence of those spaces being wanted. Same goes for dense downtown areas, which are very expensive, a supposed downside. But that is really just proof that people really really want to live in places like that, and we should at least allow property owners to build like that everywhere.
