Have you ever heard the old saying- One bad apple spoils the whole bunch? Not every person down on their luck is causing problems out there. Beans and St. Francis are non-profit/humanitarian organizations helping those in need. Theoretically speaking, you shut them down.... what happens to all those folks? They have no place to go!! They pitch a tent, they get kicked out- they find another spot, they get kicked out. Food, healthcare and other day to day things that a lot of us take for granted becomes a survival of the fittest situation in their world. Maybe the MOA needs to take a more proactive approach to these problems- give them a place to set up camp and patrol it, crack down on panhandling, make them work for their meals (litter patrol, civic improvements etc.) Crack down on the businesses that contribute to the problem. I don't have all the answers but calling for them to be shut down is  not a viable solution to these problems!
