Yes, some scam the system and yes, some have issues with drug abuse, but there are many poor insecure and legitimately hungry people roaming every street in America. Many of these folks have criminal and psychiatric histories and most have no family support, formal education nor the ability to hold down a job. For those who suggest that these folks just put down their homeless signs and walk across the street and work at McDonalds' have obviously never been in their situation. Many of these people are not hirable due to their chronic conditions that places them in an never ending circle of homelessness. Have a heart, step outside your Villages bubble and help your fellow man.
