No, I like Lafayette, funny though how lot of people always hating on Nola until LSU playing in Superdome, then everyone was there tailgating.
Most cities have laws against pandering, but few enforce it.

the beggars were causing wrecks at redlights. they have been gone for over a month and the issue is resolved. I live in lafayette, do you ?
Maybe you should google St Josephs Diner. it's considered a gold standard of soup kitchens for homeless people.

I have a sympathy for the drug addicts and the mentally handicap that are homeless, but with the huge increase in unemployment benefits and endless job openings, there is no reason why the number of beggars should have increased so dramatically in the past few years.
I cant speak for Lafayette, but in Baton Rouge, yes, they're on just about every street corner with a red light these days.

bullshite, Lafayette has plenty of resources to help these people, they don't want help though. I'm glad to see they're cracking down because a growing bum population is what you see in these cities that are becoming bigger dumps by the day.

Must not be working, I saw one this morning on Amb Caff and Kal Saloom and a 2nd one on Amb Caff and Robley.

you're the one that said LSU playing in the Superdome.. that happens in bowl games.
Thanks for proving my point, you're an idiot.

I've seen them in parking lots talking with a Tan Platinum F-150. It's a ring that is being controlled by shitty people. Guillory is doing his job. Thank god we have a mayor like that.

Mixed feelings about this. Guys on the side of the road have a free speech right to ask for money. Also, if they are truly homeless (and I have my doubts for almost all of them), arresting them makes their poverty a crime.
The mixed feeling part is that some of them are clearly organized.

I wish the crack down included the folks that stand at the intersections with buckets asking for money for Lord only knows what cause on any given day!

good, get rid of the riffraff
on way back from FL yesterday I saw a panhandler talking with a cop at I-10 Ambassador exit , he wasn't cuffed but the cop had probably only just arrived

I do not live Lafayette but my wife and I go there frequently to spend a long weekend. We stay and shop in the River Ranch area.
There is a guy that hangs out over by Academy and Target on Louisiana Ave that has worked that interection for at least 5yrs. Makes me wonder exactly how much he rakes in over there.

A bit too broad of a comment here.
Sure, a lot of them are just loser bums with addictions and could get jobs if they straightened their shite out using available resources. But a ton of them also have things like schizophrenia and have essentially no ability to make sound decisions consistently.
It sucks, but we need to bring back funny farms.
