I don't have a problem with that, but how do we keep a subject like 'homeless and BART' from turning political without radically altering what makes this site unique? There have always been vagrants around BART, but it is a serious issue that can only be solved politically. Just spend a day around 16th Street/Mission BART. saying it's horrifying is not hyperbole. No one wants violence, so people will have to deal with politics.
