Even the homeless lady in the video agreed, that you shouldn't approach people when they're at an ATM or in the middle of eating a meal to ask for money... That's common sense...
Pan handlers need to stop begging for money because they either want weed or money for alcohol not for food. Dont beg for money infront of a beer store. I stopped carrying money because of pan handlers. Credit card and no sympathy.
@@diggs3922 you are aware a person has to be living someplace to be hired for a job, right? that you need access to basic things like being able to shower and have clean clothing to even qualify for the job? how is a person that hasnt bathed in weeks meant to apply much less work?
First they have to get off drugs and alcohol. Then they can get into a shelter. They do not want to do this so they are on the street. Tired of hearing how the taxpayers have to foot the bill to house and feed them when they are victims of their own addictions, their own poor decisions. Every person alive knows that all of those drugs are highly addictive and can destroy your life. Most of us have the sense to steer clear of them and deal with our lives. Nobody forced them to shoot, smoke, snort drugs.
Housing at homeless shelters for one but they don't want to follow the rules in those places just like they don't follow rules or laws by harassing others
Dont get to downtown Grand Rapids anymore. But when I did? If approached? Id only say Ill go buy them a meal at closest fast food place. I did often . Many accepted it, some said No. But I never gave $.
@@kimyoung2748 call bullshit are you that pan handler with a sign on Leonard Street begging for cash? That guy is a good friend of my old coworker who despises him. Long blonde hair dirty good will clothes. Good living but pretends to be homeless. I call bs on the sign holders. Even the fake veterans who need cash for weed on the streets I get the va doesn't provide. My dad is a veteran and I respect real veterans not fake ones
The drug-addled street shtters that contribute nothing to society, take and take and make nice downtowns into blighted hellholes are not the victims. The business owners, the normal people, the taxpayers are the victims.

Amen
Yeah but they don't anyway
Grand Rapids basically looks like skid row now .
it's the same in the rest of michigan too

"I stopped carrying money because of pan handlers" Why? If you don't offer it how do they even know you have it?
They ask for money all the time even if they don't know if you have any. Stop panhandling
so when is GR going to build more homeless shelters to reduce the homeless population?
No matter how many you ever build with us letting 3-4 million illegals in here ever year it will never be enough. Just let he winter chase them south.

@@cvn6555are you not smart enough to understand that most homeless people have never touched drugs?
@@foxbuns
They want drugs and booze not work.
Lots of jobs get one
How about the aggressive "candy vendors" selling "candy bars" on foot in Monroe center area?
They are just raising money for their school trips and sports teams! Not.
Give them all one-way flight tickets to Guam.
The city is giving these people options but they don't want any part of it
What are their options?
Housing at homeless shelters for one but they don't want to follow the rules in those places just like they don't follow rules or laws by harassing others
don't give anyone money, they will just use it for drugs and alcohol.
division looks better since the one shelter moved

Thst story of yours has been proven 100% a LIE.
At the end of life, we will all be judged by Charity...

Good.
They get in your face so you will pay them to go away. The panhandling law is reasonable and correct.
They get in my face and I deny them anything
I hate seeing people at the corner asking for Money while your in a car, like stop panhandling
I hate seeing people suffer. You may very well find out how they feel.
yeah pick on the under dog
Oh so criminals and drug addicts are underdogs? Go live in Portland.

Don't block my comment News 8. Its a comment section.

Thank goodness! Tired of being approached by these people. Get these people off the streets!!!!
Put your stuff in the storage bins offered to the homeless
This is disgraceful if your trying to clean up the city then why let the homeless keep their belongings on the streets it makes it look bad.
That lady who is homeless obviously didnt hear about the storage bins offered to the homeless
