Sorry, I’m bumping up against Poe’s Law with this comment so I think I’m misunderstanding your point.
I don’t own a subway, it’s not my organisation. I was just using my imagination to put myself in the shoes of others to understand their decisions.
Now then: You’re literally stating that having homeless people in a space causes social harm, and that making a place less hospitable for the homeless, even if it improves that place for its main function, is also a societal bad. Let’s accept that for the sake of argument. Why are the homeless camping in the subway? Doesn’t that mean they’ve already passed down from further up this displacement chain and the subway is also a victim of the same thing?
The subway and the homeless are both just dealing with their situations in the best ways they can. Asking the subway to house the homeless in their corridors is about as helpful as just telling those homeless people to stop being homeless.
