What do you think cities should do to crack down on panhandling?
Be brutally honest

nothing
cities should do nothing
people should stop giving money. if you want to be charitable, offer food. if they refuse - they arent hungry enough.

My brutally honest assessment is that those numbers sound like total bullshite.
quote:
confidential interviews with panhandlers indicating that they make between $35,000 and $100,000 tax free per year and view panhandling as the equivalent of a job or a profession. Some even have homes and support families on their panhandling income.
And confidential interviews with OTers indicate that they make an average of $250,000 per year (after tax) and bang 9.5s on a weekly basis.

I have said it for years panhandlers are con men praying on peoples good nature. They choose to live the way they do.

Absolutely nothing.
There would be an issue if they were getting that money through coercive means but people aren't being forced to give it up so there's no issue here.

I dont think many guys shower in CO to begin with. I would have a hard time really telling a homeless man apart from someone that lives in a mountain town.

I remember hearing a similar story of pandhandlers in houston making cheese just like that. I recall one that drove to and from his spot in his new Cadillac. This was years ago, but nothing has changed with this "Profession".

Don't give those bastards a dime...
I gave a couple of them working the I12 exit corner on O'neal a prepared Ziplock full of food..
And he looked at me like I was some sort of a-hole...

This is what I do. I won't give money, but if I have food I give it to them.

I only give them money if I know for certain they are using it to buy drugs or alcohol. It's a win-win-win. I feel good about myself, they get high and as a result society benefits because they will die faster.

I agree with most people in this thread. Panhandlers aren't the problem. Our good nature is the problem.
If we stop giving them money, they will disappear.
However, I can understand giving food or a blanket to children that awful parents use to panhandle. There's no excuse for that shite. I feel sorry for those kids.

There's actually an argument that beggars are a necessary part of society. I'll see if I can't find an article.
