I look at giving homeless basically as paying drug dealers to make these people’s lives miserable. Good work.
Most employers probably think the same about their staff tbh.

He seems to be of the impression that the majority are addicts, and that giving them money fuels their habits. And that putting them in houses first, and then offering them mental and addiction help is the way forward. I tend to agree with that.
I wouldn't assume that beggars are necessarily homeless or on drugs.
What do you mean by hustlers?
People playing the 3 shell game, people selling the same cheap tourist tat at every location, people wanting you to sign a form and donate "for charity" etc, scammers basically.
I'm in Paris right now and there's not a beggar insight which I feel is amazing for such a huge capital city. There's husslers and pick-pockets etc but actual beggars I've not seen, maybe the police here are more strict or the homeless are just hidden away more but it's a very pleasent surprise compared to a recent London trip. Hell even in New York we only saw a literal hand full as we walked around (mainly street-sleepers) but then the weather was -24'c to be fair.
3 shells? I thought that’s how you wiped your arse in San Angeles?
Me tooI GET THIS REFERENCE.

Groan/Get your coat!Offer them food instead of money, if they refuse say "beggars cant be choosers"
The lack of empathy displayed on this forum astonishes me sometimes.

This, its a very right wing 'toryesque' forum though, there are a few good bods about though, just have to ignore the cretins who don't care about anyone other than themselves and their bank balance/status.
Blame the current Govt for that.,

Finally!
Someone mentions the gov't. That's the bigger picture imo. And it won't get any better now that we're under BoJo.
