We just moved back here so maybe I forgot how bad it always was?

No it was never like that even ten years ago. They used to have pretty strict enforcement of anti loitering laws and would remove and fine anyone without a valid pass. When I was growing up and in my early twenties, I would get stopped frequently and asked for proof of fare.
Once again, I don't know what the correct solution is here and whether going back to strict enforcement can actually accomplish anything. But you can full on smoke crack in the open now and transit authority will let you be.
