I admit that I've become pretty hard-hearted with panhandlers. Berkeley and SF have so many of them, it's hard not to be.
Some of the ones in SF seem genuinely badly off and many are mentally ill. The mayor of SF is pushing what seems like genuine reform in helping the homeless - housing and assistance, no more cash payments for scammer are drugs - I think he's on the right track.
The ones in Berkeley seem more with it, and I stopped giving them money decades ago.
