Apparently, there is a group home or something off Siegen, so that's why you get a lot of pan handlers. And all those group homes are awful, people run those to get government money and don't look after the people staying there or give them any kind of help. It was horrible out there a couple of Saturdays ago. A guy was getting in all the traffic lined up in the exit. And people were walking across Siegen. That shopping center across from Super Target, with Big Lots, Dollar Tree and Zoorona gets awful. You'll see multiple people in wheelchairs rolling around.

No, it's just a hotspot because these dogooders think they're helping someone down on their luck.

Well, my wife, who is a critical care nurse at OLOL, told me there are group homes in the area.
And I work on Siegen. There's more going on than just people who are trying to con "dogooders". There are multiple people around that you can tell are mentally ill. When you're darting in and out of interstate off-ramp traffic, or rolling around in a wheelchair dirty and talking to yourself, there's stuff going on. There are scam artists, but they're not the majority.
