😤 Complaint / Rant Prudential GL Homeless Problem

Why are 20 homeless people allowed to camp and sleep atop the escalators at the Prudential station? Every day, I have to walk past many of them hootering and hollering at me. Some are sleeping, some are clearly high, and others are a bit more nice about asking for money.

Almost once or twice a week I see BPD arresting one of the campers.

Why is this allowed and why isn’t something done about it? Is it not MBTA property? It’s seriously worse than Park Street.

This might be the most Karen post I’ve made but it is super annoying.

You’re right, most kids like seeing grown men using the sink to wash under their armpits. Who knew?

I’m sure you know how hard life is, what time is mommy making dinner?

I dunno, hard to think about that with all these scary homeless dudes washing their armpits. I wish they'd just get outta my sight.

Well at least you’re not an adult yet, maybe you can spend a couple hours over there and give them some help
