snip out the part that mentioned the thing with rural homelessness...I used what he posted and nothing more. Now, I live in Westwood in Los angeles. I sit outside at the starbucks doing my work a lot....I am approached by 5/6 homeless people per hour for money...Always individuals...some are respectful and decent...other times you see them bickering at each other and causing a scene. My samples of homelessness come from downtown LA at night, Westwood as I have mentioned, and the beach areas. I will say that I have NEVER seen a family huddled together outside on the ground.

Also, I NEVER give money to a panhandler, but whenever I have food I offer it. 75% of the time they reject my food offer. What is that supposed to make me think?
