Despite court rulings that soliciting money is protected as free speech, some cities and at least one state are considering new restrictions on panhandling in traffic medians, arguing it’s a safety hazard. Opponents, however, say that there’s no proof such restrictions protect pedestrians and that they infringe on free speech rights.
Seeing them walking in the road at traffic lights takes me so long to get used to when visiting the US, they’re less intense than the people who hang around outside shops begging though.
I don’t think shuffling them around and making everyone find new places to beg will help anything, the solution is two things. For those fhat need it mental health help plus education and tools to enable simple living, then material helps to get into a dwelling and develop a meaningful and sustainable lifestyle.
They aren’t shuffling them around. They are arresting them and putting them in private prisons, because slavery is still legal in the U.S. if you’re a prisoner and private prisons have quotas.

None of that is sarcasm.
