Another sign of exasperation: Starbucks, long the default public bathroom for American cities, will close its restrooms to nonpaying customers in an attempt to deter homeless populations.

These organizations, whose missions include bringing and keeping people off the street, have begun to evict nonpaying tenants to bring in paying ones.

The pandemic was a scarring experience for smaller landlords, many of whom found themselves squeezed as their nonpaying tenants were protected by the city and as rents remained frozen amid historic inflation.

Why doesn’t the Sound Transit Board understand that the fare ambassador program is a fruitless exercise, from awkward human interaction to a zero chance that nonpaying customers will actually pay the fare to the ongoing cost of using fare ambassadors?

Under the proposed system, a nonpaying rider has to be confronted three times by an ambassador before being cited.
