In Toronto some years ago when I was up there, there was a ratty-looking guy aggressively panhandling the line of people standing outside the Pantages theater, and no authority figure chased him. I found it intimidating. I live outside of Vancouver - in one of its major suburbbs, and the disease is, frankly, spreading. I'm regularly accosted in the parking lot of my office these days. At least once a week - in suburbia.
