[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you doing to try to solve the problem other than complaining and clutching pearls? Do you donate to homeless charities or churches? Are you politically involved in trying to find policy solutions? Can you give us some examples of your active engagement?[/quote] I think people need to stop enabling them. Let's be frank - The panhandling isn't about hunger or mundane needs. There already are more than enough supports and resources to supply that. It's about substance abuse. Incidentally, in DC people CAN legally be involuntarily committed into rehab, but DC lacks the will to do so. [/quote]
