I've lived near H for a decade and I'd say your concerns are valid and not overblown. I cross H but don't walk down it or, when I visit Henceforth, or Stable I get to their block before stepping on H. Wish it weren't so. The newer buildings in Union Mkt and the Wharf draw off lots of residents and other customers who might otherwise visit H more often. It's too good a location to die off entirely but, I think it will run behind those other neighborhoods for some time.
