Definitely fewer kids than drug addicts, and if there weren;t free handouts there would be more families, and fewer homeless.
Is that the same Palisades Park as in the song. “We ate and ate at a hotdog stand” and so forth?
I live two blocks up Lincoln from Reed Park. It always seems commotion-free when I drive by, probably because it gets a lot of SMPD attention. But the homeless do spook it up a little.
