[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not so new, actually. The problem is that the rest of DC has turned into Union Station. But Union Station has pretty much always been that way.[/quote]
It’s been worse the last few years and has fallen off a cliff since COVID. Believe it or not but there was a time when Union Station had high end retail and fine dining. [/quote]

I attended law school in DC ‘97-‘00; during that time Union Station was clean, bustling with people and filled with shops and many eateries including a very swank fine dining restaurant I never got a chance to visit. It had a movie theater that was always busy. The bathrooms were fine. I never felt unsafe there but was usually meeting other people.

I’m sorry to hear it is so different now. :([/quote]

We are too, and apparently we DC residents are powerless to change it because it belongs to Amtrak and Dept of Transport. With that being said, couldn't eleanor holmes norton and Bowser lodge a formal complaint with them? I get tired of the, "it's not ours so we can't do anything" excusism in a city like ours with complicated jurisdictions and oversight. [/quote]

Like DC politicians have the will or backbone to do something like that.[/quote]
