davis_square | homeless man at davis stop (Reply)

i'm curious if anyone has any idea what the story is with the homeless man who sits on the benches every morning down on the platform of davis. I'm not looking for snide remarks, its obvious he is homeless, but to be honest, and potentially non-pc, the smell of urine is really potent down there. I have noticed that he keeps to himself and really doesn't interact with anyone.

I'm not expecting someone, to offer him a place to shower, but how does this get addressed in terms of the MBTA? Is it allowed as long as he gets through the gates? I don't know much about the social services in Somerville.

Of course, I feel bad for him, and am also curious about how the situation works with him being down there everyday.

This situation seems particularly intense, at least to me.
