[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYC's Moynihan station will be like Penn Station and Union Station in about a year.  I have already spied one or two homeless camped out there already.
NYC's Grand Central Terminal doesn't have this problem.  It still attracts commuters to sit, eat and shop.  Wonder why enforcement is selective in these public spaces.  Is it because the Metro North commuters are generally high income so there is more effort to keep them using the station?[/quote]
Grand Central is in a more “central” and upscale area of Manhattan. Park Avenue literally runs through it and it’s surrounded by finance to the north and classic pre-war residential buildings to the south. It’s a community resource used for more than just commuting. [/quote]

Oh please.  Penn Station is in a perfectly bustling part of Manhattan where MSG is.  When I lived in NY (moved in 2020) I actually didn't see a ton of homeless people in Penn station.[/quote]
??? The area immediately surrounding Penn Station is dead. If you go a little ways you hit new areas like Hudson Yard and the Highline/Meat Packing. But the idea that the blocks surrounding Penn Station have any sort of vibrancy is just absolutely false, unless you enjoy Sbarro. [/quote]
