We have the same problem with begging in our streets here in Toronto. The problem is that small crimes are commited that eventually lead to bigger issues.

Drug and alcohol abuse among our homeless is very rampant. Plus some are MI or are aggressive in nature.

Our city has tryed to help and poured a lot of money into helping but it can be like putting gasoline on the fire.
