[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not been to SF in 10 years. I saw nothing like OP described when I was there. I don't recall seeing a single homeless person.

I agree with PPs that it's not a good idea to give cash to anyone on the street. I've been told over and over again that you are enabling them to stay on the street if you give them cash. Food is OK, but I've had food thrown in my face, so I don't offer food either. I just don't make eye contact and walk quickly away. Most of the cash they collect is going to drugs and alcohol, not food, OP. [/quote]

I guess no one should be helpful or try to be compassionate anymore. Just walk away.[/quote]

Stow the cynicism.

You could donate that chance or money to a recognized legitimate charity of your choice.  There are litterally thousands of charities to choose from; surely one of them fits your personal beliefs or political bent and could benefit the population of young able bodied transients we are discussing in this case.[/quote]

Literally, litterally. [/quote]
