    He is thinking of panhandlers, they sit on the side of the road with signs and often get aggressive with people. Same scam as the people with the squeegee bottle and the towel for your windshield. These people uaually aren’t homeless and are just scamming.

      Yeah. That’s my experience, not everyone begging is homeless, and not all homeless beg. Some 30% of homeless people have jobs.
