Some of it is from people who think they’re doing Society Good by delivering boxes of food to them to each homeless camp at either to individuals or the whole camp and then giving cash to individual homeless people. They think that they’re helping these people and they just don’t realize they are enabling them to keep doing it, to keep being homeless because they are being provided for
Thanks, makes sense.
Every time I see a panhandler at the stop light I say to myself, helping him by not giving to him. But it’d have to be a group effort, as he’s there because it works. At least he’s out there, I guess. Still, it’s all just perverse incentives.
