I worked in DTK for a few years, after a couple of the towers were completed, and I often had to work late. I never saw any issues. Most of the transient population sticks to the parking garages (D&O and Hotel Benton) and they'd also hang around the KPL and in front of City Hall.
The city of Kitchener has very good corporate security that protects any city owned facility, and they're good at taking care of these people and protecting properties nearby, even if not city owned. In the 2.5 years I worked in downtown Kitchener, I only saw the police once. Most of the condos are fairly far away from any shelter, so perhaps that's one reason.
The downtown has changed quite a bit the past 5 years. This ain't Gotham City.
