Did you see any selling Real Change?


I think so! Some were selling some kind of newsletter but I didn't want to get caught into sales pitch so I only looked for about two seconds. My takeaway from that two seconds was that it was some kind of advocacy newsletter for the homeless.

Something else we agree on 100%. All
you have to do is get to know these
people, be around them for a period of
time, and you'll see most of them are hustlers.
Some are mentally ill, some are truly
desperate, but the vast majority are not.


My experience is that the majority of the long term homeless have some mental deficiency that keeps them on the street. Mental or not, I don't give cash to anyone who asks, since it most likely will go to drugs or booze.
