He was literally standing there holding up a "God Bless The Homeless Vets" sign and giving a friendly wave to people passing by.
I'd give him points off for the low quality of the sign, he probably should get it printed professionally if he's going to use it in further videos, but that's just me being critical of hand-made signs on cardboard.

You call it public property and I call it District property. You counter that it is adjacent to a public road and I point out that the road was built by the Villages on land owned by the Villages and while maintenance was probably turned over to the county that doesn’t necessarily mean that ownership of the land was turned over to the county.
The sign is part of his schtick, not a mistake in any way.
