I passed by a bus stop yesterday and there is now a no trespassing sign and a no loitering sign up. That seems odd for a public bus stop.
sometimes people just go to home despot and buy signs and put them up.
i’ve it a lot with “no parking” signs on public streets when they want to reserve parking for themselves
home despot
This is the perfect typo for this post lol
Yeah my city has a lot of homeless around bus stops.
Is a bummer but it makes other people avoid those places like the plague and gives further bad names to public transport.
I get that but they take away everything someone owns, prevent them from sitting or sleeping anywhere, throw them in jail or put them on a bus and send them to another state. I don’t see how any of this solves the problem.
If the homeless all end up in prison, there are no more homeless, and a fresh supply of profitable slave laborers.

It is literally so they can charge homeless people taking shelter there.

Welcome to people. Instead of fixing the homelessness, governments would prefer to make the situation worse while doing their best to ignore it.

I wouldn't even say that it's to be able to charge homeless people - how are they going to pay? It wouldn't be particularly smart financially.
It's more about just not having them there. Say what you want, but if a bus stop reeks, it makes it much less attractive to take public transit. Of course, it just moves the problem somewhere else - but the transit authority doesn't have to worry about it too much anymore.

charge them with a crime
