Here's your summary from Germany's financial capital of Frankfurt battles downtown drug scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDs0ieKXQyM) on the Bloomberg Television channel:

**TLDR:** Frankfurt, Germany's financial capital, is struggling with a downtown drug scene near the train station area, despite efforts to clean up the district.

1. The once posh district near the train station in Frankfurt is now known for homelessness and open drug use, with property owners hiring private security to keep dealers away.

2. Frankfurt has implemented measures such as a no knife zone, security cameras, and increased police presence to address the drug problem, but faces challenges due to the rise of crack and lack of substitution treatment for addicts.

3. The city's pragmatic drug policy, including clean injection centers, has helped reduce drug-related deaths, but Frankfurt's Lord Mayor is calling on other municipalities to step up efforts to address the issue.
