Well, that's true. I call those Cadillac bums.

But Garcetti is trying to clean up the Skid Row homeless that actually live on the streets. They don't have money or homes.

[Fresh Wind]

The social workers that replaced the police?

Yes. "When seconds count, social workers are days away."

[sitetest]

Vagrancy laws.

It’s funny to watch leftists trying to re-invent civilization.

Good luck.

[John Leland 1789]

In our small Midwest town, there are, in fact, homeless people who have wads of cash, buy expensive clothes, hats and boots, and think it below them to buy at Goodwill. Where do they get their money . . . ? We've had discussions with police officials about it.

I would imagine that there many in the cities who have money, or access to money, who still live in the strees.

Typical California “liberals” seem to think that passing a law fixes any problem; the law need not be enforced—or even enforceable.

The law is unconstitutional and violates the human rights of those tent dwellers occupying public lands and right ways /s

——You have no idea how much the corner “homeless” rake in-—

I do, I have considered the matter.

At a lucrative interstate exit, a man with a sign can easily collect $10 per hour. As few as 2 donors giving $5 make $10

Begging can easily produce more than working

As an interesting anecdote, A man regularly sat at the off ramp of exit 59 I 81 north.

I have also seen him at the on ramp of Va exit 72 where all the big truck stops are.just out. The spots are 100 miles apart

violators facing possible fines of up to $1,000

No problem in Ca. shoplifting is ok up to $900.00 the pawn shops are open late.

[Zathras]

Typical CA head fake.
Nothing will ever be enforced but highly likely businesses will be fined for letting homeless camp out in front of their businesses.

The womens’ designer handbags are worth more than my old junky car.

*However*, if they have a dog with them, I will go buy it food and toys.

I’m so familiar to all the employees locally that they know to NOT accept any “returns or exchanges” of the stuff I buy for those dogs.

[Salamander]

There was an article in the local fishwrap that said most of them were clearing 300 clams a day, at least.

I can’t even imagine that much money in one day.

Since my car is yet again needing a transmission, I considered going to a town where no one knows me and doing the same, because WTH.

However, my annoying honesty would make for a long and bizarre “Help me” sign.

---

No, I will not lie to you and say I am homeless.
I am not a veteran, unless the “psychic wars” counts.
I am not hungry.
I have health insurance.
My car just needs a new transmission and I cannot afford it.
Please give generously if you feel like this sign was honest enough.

---

I didn’t though, because honestly, I am not able to stand that long without my spine trying to kill me.
I reckon I could take a lawn chair along.
Maybe even take the dog with a sign around his neck that says “My mom has to perform Origami on me to get me into the PT Loser’s puny back seat”

:D
