What needs to happen in BR is our local “leaders” need to get serious about making this a criminal activity and then actually enforce the law.
Everyone wants to look the other way on this one. I don’t find the antics of drug-riddled and mentally ill vagrants on the side of the road endearing in any way. These are not honest people down on their luck. These are people looking to take advantage of charitable and naive people. And they’re more organized than you think.
What I would do... write a few local ordinances. First, no panhandling of ANY kind within 10 feet of any road in BR. This includes all the little sports teams that dart out into three lanes of traffic for a dollar.
Second, no panhandling at any fueling station in BR.
Third, and this is the one I really want... no panhandling within 1/2 mile of the LSU main campus.
Anywhere else... knock yourself out.

When I was in college, a few of us were hanging out in the business building and a fricking beggar came into the building and started asking us for money. We basically laughed at him and told him we were in college and broke too.
The guy should have been arrested on the spot but there were no laws against it.
