After months of investigation into potentially changing a longstanding policy, Metro has opted not to change the "end of the line" rule.

With the decision, Long Beach residents are once again up in arms about the lack of change when it comes to the rampant increase in the homeless population in the area and the crime that has come with it.

Nancy Downs, a local business owner, said that in recent years her business has been subjected to an array of vandalism, which she believes is a result of the fact that transient riders of the Metro train system are essentially dropped off on her doorstep, thanks to the train line's policy to kick riders off at their final stop in Downtown Long Beach.
