Why are hobos allowed to live within city limits...
Been going on for at least 45 years. Back when I lived there in the 70s, the San Antonio cops used to take bums to the north city limits dump them out, and say, "Austin's that way."
(Warning: soliloquy rant follows) The Austin-American Statesman used to have a jerk, John Kelso, who played the "good ole boy" in his columns, writing about pickup trucks, ugly dogs, Willie Nelson, and other crap. He also came out of the woodwork to blast downtown businesses for being cruel to the "homeless." Downtown, guys used to pee on the storefronts, steal shopping carts, etc. Kelso complained that the stores were cruel to the poor people. Course, the Statesman, where he worked, had a camera guarded parking lot, security guys patrolling the perimeter, and a front desk guard. You weren't allowed in without a badge, and you didn't set foot in their parking lot without being confronted.
They were fine with store owners on 6th street having to hose down their storefronts every day cause people were peeing on it the night before, every grocery store downtown going out of business because of shoplifting and stolen grocery carts, and people not being able to walk down the street without being panhandled.
