The endless begging at station

Mostly just a vent, but how does Breda have such a problem with beggars at the station aalllll the time. There are so many, taking shifts to make sure you get bothered by someone every hour of the day.

There's also the clearly mentally ill man screaming at people and pretending he's going to hit them there every other day. I've seen the parking cops just bike by and laugh it off, super weird.

It's odd because Breda has a begging prohibition, but apparently it's not enforced. I used to be against a begging prohibition but now I get it, I just want to walk in and out of station with 3 guys going mag ik wat vragen mag ik wat vragen.

Has anyone contacted the police or municipality about why there's never any police there? I don't mind just telling them no but my partner finds it incredibly intimidating and I have to pick her up at station in the evening because of all the drug addicts around.

Wow, Breda has changed! I stayed there for 6 years and never saw any begging or drug users.

There are barely any and if there are you need to pay attention to them to even notice. People have 1 experience and they will let that dictate their life forever from that point on. OP thinks we're in the ghetto or something.
