[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Philly. I ignore any homeless person I see and anyone who appears to be approaching me on a walking asking for directions. Too many bad experiences.[/quote]

That’s what I am teaching my child to do. Don’t engage with the homeless,
Too many mentally ill and therefore unpredictable people. Don’t be mean or cruel to them but avoid and ignore. [/quote]

The problem is that even people who avoid and ignore end up being victims. 
Like the woman who lost an eye because of an attack.  
Or, Michelle Go, who was killed by being pushed in front of a subway train in NY.  [/quote]
But what else can I or he as an individual do?
At least I am not making the problem worse by giving them money (or even food for that matter -if  they need to go to an official place of some sort and stay close to it to get food, they might at least be out of my face)

I am very skeptical about any politician trying to solve this problem by first removing such people off the streets (which imo needs to be done). Honesty I don’t know how this problem and the problem of the overall drastic increase in high needs population that requires countless services will be solved. [/quote]
