Fight leaves Central Square Dunkin' Donuts a bloody mess

The City of Cambridge and community advocates are well aware homeless congregate there, and they know why. Many homeless are, in addition to afflicted with substance use and abuse (illegal and legal, even prescribed by a 'healthcare professional') that causes dysfunctional behavior, they're also mentally ill, a substantial number have very serious mental illness like schizophrenia. Others are disproportionately afflicted with so-called personality disorders. And, not to pile it on, but many have been recently released from jails and prisons from all over eastern MA, and elsewhere, and have nowhere to go. The city chooses to do nothing to really end or even alleviate the problem.

I'll say it again: My impression of many students, undergrads and grads, among others, is they've had very limited experience outside their safe space / comfort zone. I actually find them more irritating , even rude, than most of the homeless.

Central Square is hardly chock full of yuppies! You obviously have never stepped foot in Central Sq. ...it's students, working class folks, tons of diversity, and unfortunately, a large number of drunks and drug addicts who hang around, loiter and wander in the street, which is quite sad to see. Get out more, chief.
