TL;DR
The article discusses the increasing distress among homeless individuals in Montreal following new regulations prohibiting loitering in the metro. Outreach workers argue that the ban could exacerbate the challenges faced by the homeless community, removing a refuge from harsh weather and reducing social interaction opportunities. The policy aims to enhance commuter safety and experience, but critics emphasize the lack of supportive alternatives for the homeless, urging the city to consider more inclusive solutions that address homelessness directly.
