[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP has valid concerns.

I'm a well-traveled adult who takes the train to NYC for work several times a month, and even I don't like Union Station late at night.  Do my 19 and 21 year olds take it late at night?  Yes, but the first time each one did a late night trip, I went with them first to guide them on some important things.

At night it becomes a hub for the homeless, many with mental issues.  When I arrived at around 9:30 PM two weeks ago,[b] a homeless man and woman were having sex outside of the metro entrance.[/b]  The transit officers were just laughing at them.

I mean, as it is, it's getting harder to find a restroom inside that's not occupied by a homeless person.  If you are truly handicap and in need of that stall, you're SOL.  I've yet to see a restroom there that didn't have a homeless person living in that stall.  [/quote]

And that impacted your sons how? They have almost certainly had sex already, mom. Such pearl-clutching.[/quote]

I was travelling alone.  I didn't say it impacted me at all.

The way OP described herself and son is that they are country people and therefore not street smart.

My 19 yo who hardly takes the metro gets lost every single time.  My nieces from London had zero issues navigating around DC in 2019 by their selves because they are used to mass transit.  [/quote]

NP but I still don’t understand why the things you are listing are a big deal.  Your niece gets lost on the metro? Okay lots of people do, and I assume she figured out things at some point or she’d still be lost.  Homeless people having sex in Union Station? Awkward and not the most pleasant thing but I’ve seen worse at Mardi Gras.  [/quote]
