Penn Station consistently plays music but its not always classical or baroque music. Contra the article I don't think it discourages anyone from loitering. The station is full of homeless people asking for money and late at night there's a very large number of folks sleeping in the hallways. Much more its the armed guards stationed everywhere that prevent disturbances and remove people. FWIW the characterization of the station as a haven for the rich is not particularly apt either. There are tens of thousands of commuters going through this station every day. Rich, poor, black, white, young and old, from all walks of life. Most of them are just hoping their train doesn't get cancelled so they can get home.
