The situation has gotten worse because of sky high rents and low paying service jobs. With that kind of attitude from the "deserving, regular" people, who take their good fortune for granted, it is no wonder homeless people dont want your help. When I walk down the street and see a homeless person, I dont think to myself "OMG they are infringing on my right to a clean sidewalk." Instead, I feel really grateful that I have a roof over my head.
