I passed by a bus stop yesterday and there is now a no trespassing sign and a no loitering sign up. That seems odd for a public bus stop.

It is literally so they can charge homeless people taking shelter there.
That’s just mean
Welcome to today‘s USA.
Anti-homeless antics are neither recent nor limited to America.
Welcome to people. Instead of fixing the homelessness, governments would prefer to make the situation worse while doing their best to ignore it.
I wouldn’t even say that it’s to be able to charge homeless people - how are they going to pay? It wouldn’t be particularly smart financially.
It’s more about just not having them there. Say what you want, but if a bus stop reeks, it makes it much less attractive to take public transit. Of course, it just moves the problem somewhere else - but the transit authority doesn’t have to worry about it too much anymore.
charge them with a crime
Exactly. Them not being able to pay the fine is the bonus. That and its immediate probable cause for any officer wanting to cause some shit with whoever needs to take the bus that day.
I swear some people on this platform are intentionally dense or something
