It's not impossible but it is improbable. As I understand it, that region of space is highly unstable. All those stars that close together wreaks havoc on the orbits of planets and stars. The closer to the middle you get the closer to the supermassive black hole at the center and the stars in that area are absolutely screaming through space. There's a bunch of other factors contributing to that region of space being very hostile to life as we know it.

Much like how solar systems have "goldilocks zones", galaxies have them too.
