    And yes, fentanyl is used A LOT in medical care and so are multiple other addictive substances such as morphine and other addictive painkillers

    the homeless are homeless because of the system

    the best we could do is house them

      Right but it’s not the transit system’s job. Of course they don’t want to make commuting worse for all of those non-homeless people using it

          How would people struggling with mental, substance abuse and addiction issues camping right next to the commuters make the experience worse, even dangerous, to those commuters? Not much of a question, really. And aside from those, there’s piss and shit too and that sort of issues, waste, used needles and stuff. Areas where there’s a lot of homeless people unfortunately are pretty dangerous and others start to avoid them

          Subway stations aren’t build to house people.
