This was a good read. I recently moved to Chicago but have always lived less than 30 miles from the city center and ridden the trains in and the CTA around. I have always felt safer on the L than on other cities' metros (San Diego, Portland), but lately I have noticed an increase in open drug use. Hopefully the city can come up with some (compassionate) solutions for this problem.
