I'm assuming this has more to do with the homeless problem in DC than it does with Union Station. They just hang out there because it's out of the elements.[/quote]

No. They hang out because Amtrak doesn't have a policy of evicting the homeless. It's been that way for a long time. [/quote]

I don't think "homeless" has to be synonymous with violent and mentally ill or drug addicted.

DMV's weak approach to public safety puts all of us at risk in public spaces.

According to the statistics, a random homeless person is unlikely to attack you. Of course, those statistics ignore the fact that dozens are hanging around the station. [/quote]

My mom's friend was murdered by Union Station in the 70s. She was mentally ill and homeless. Rich and well educated. Thanks closing of mental hospitals. Chronic urban homelessness is pretty synonymous with the things you don't think it is.[/quote]
