You’d think The Amtrak Police would put a stop to this nonsense.

So rather than dealing with issues at these places of business, they have chosen to just close down the places of business. Rather than risk being criticized for being racist or mean to some derelicts, they will avoid the problem by shutting down. Something I have come to realize is that when you are in this class of money, you care more about the opinions of your liberal friends than you do about money.

I’ve been in less challenging locations where the Starbucks bathroom is clearly just a safe injection site.

Must be all them conservatives the Starbucks CEO said he didn’t want in their store.
Starbucks can bite the dust and go out of business for all I care.

I noticed the same thing. I take that as an indication of how bad things are.

It’s also a list of areas to avoid. Like being told to meet someone for coffee south of Martin Luther King Blvd. near the corner of Rosa Parks and John Lewis Plaza Drive. Kevlar vests optional.

They’ll probably have memorials with soy candles, teddy bears, syringes, and dime bags at these locations.

I’ve been through that intersection probably a thousand times and most tourist driving through wouldn’t even know it unless someone told them or they looked at the signs. That intersection looks like a zillion other intersections in LA.

Wow. A failure to keep the prime location at Hollywood and Vine shows a failure at executive decision making skills.

Funny thing about racism ... it was not considered racist by the Left when I noted (back in the 90s) that Planned Barrenhood, while closing “clinics” in white areas in Texas, were somehow seeming to stay open in minority areas.
