I don't know what this guy was doing while I was waiting for a train at the Vermont/Sunset station on the LA Metro red line. I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.

He is probably getting water. There is a panel in some (all?) of those Emergency Assistance kiosks that have a water spigot inside. Probably for cleaning the platform, but it serves the homeless well too.

I don't think I'd have snapped a photo of that, given that the individual might have taken offense.

What are you talking about? That's just high fashion you're looking at there.
Looks more like "low" fashion, if you know what I mean.

The reason them kids these days want phones that can be operated with one hand is because the other is occupied holding up their pants.

Interestingly (to me, at least) I posted a comment a week or two ago saying I thought the LA subways could not be recommended any more because of the homeless takeover of the subways, Then today I took the bus to/from the Women's March at City Hall and my "pure anecdata" observation is that the situation on the LA buses has improved. In the past, the bus was overwhelmed by homeless folks with mental illness problems; now I sense those folks have moved to the subway -- which makes plenty of sense as, if you were homeless, the subway has many advantages over the bus (warmer, less direct sunlight, less interaction with police, quieter, etc...)
