Do we need a war on drugs? I don’t think so. We just need a war on people making services unpleasant.

Asking someone to leave a subway platform because they are not using the public transportation system for transportation is not a war on drugs. It’s just making people exit a subway station.

It is a problem if, no matter where someone is, they are always asked to leave that place. At that point you cannot special-plead the subway system.

I would sometimes sleep in my car in a completely empty parking garage, bothering no one, and then some dickhead cop or security guard would beat on my window to demand I not sleep and leave immediately.
