[87maniac]

Many times I have declined to give money,
offered to buy food at next door restaurant.
Many times, 'vet' runs away.

Know several locals that have been panhandling downtown for 15+ years.
Every beggar at Whole Foods eats better than I do, and has tax=free cash to boot ;-)

In my life, I've found it easy to be able to work to support my means.
Younger people have different values, and work is a distant pursuit.

Too many people living in parks, overpasses.

We were a rich country, no?
What went wrong?
