Then they can go get a job. You know, like people have been doing since the dawn of time. They CHOOSE this lifestyle. These aren't homeless people (the mentally incompetent who deserve help), these are professional beggars who choose to take money from soft hearted people in lieu of contributing to society. frick every one of them.

Reading into this post and your previous post, I highly doubt you've ever spoken to a person in this situation, so excuse me when I say I don't put any value on your opinion into the subject.

I have. What would you like to know?

Are most of them homeless? About half
Do they have somewhere to stay? Yup
Do they change clothes and fake injuries? Yup
Drugs? Mainly alcohol, but some aren't addicted to anything
Do they get in fist fights to decide who can pretend to be handicapped on that corner? Yup
Do they have a handler? A lot of the time

If they don't make money on a corner, they move along (or the handler moves them to a new spot)

They can get free food and everything else if they get an ID. Lots of places give free food. Shelters take in a lot of people, but don't offer primary residences. These people would rather panhandle than work. Probably less than 1% do it against their will
