Description

Let me start off by saying if a person world is legitimately homeless I'd be the first want to buy them a bag of food. Share what I have that I'm not going to need for the day to eat. The next thing I got to say is when you offer somebody a bag of food and they turning down ask for money. Probably not homeless. Sometimes there on public assistance and they don't want to go to the Red Cross to Catholic charities because they are in public assistance. That issue out already or they don't wanted to be registered so their money will be messed with one there on public assistance. Mind you this is what I've been told by people who do these areas that support people that are in need. I am tired of coming to this corner every day in point people in the right direction and then still putting their hand in my face and asking for a dollar to five dollars I've been asked for 20 bucks which is completely excessive. Again mind you if the limit legitimately homeless they will except the food that you offer them. I don't think I should have to be accosted every day that I come down this corner that I have seen asking for money. And with the recent turn of events where the Latina lady asking for change and she has her Child with her asking for money. She told me in Spanish stop talking to her and give her money. I've been here where I told people where to go and they said no I want money. I've been here where I've offered people my lunch that I didn't eat for the day giving up my valuable Tupperware to them trying to, they said no I want money. Somethings got to be done with this corner in the other corner from the 580 freeway offramp it's it's getting to be monotonous when you come to this corner and every corner is asking you for change. Really know if I had anything extra I would give it to a person that I know is legitimately homeless. This raises the awareness of what's going to be done with this corner and it's not maintained. Then this year some people that were not home is begging for money died on that corner so why isn't this corner being maintained and then being told to stay away. And again I reiterate it if they legitimately homeless I won't give them my food that I have to spare or I will give them money if I have any extra to spare but every day somebody's at this corner and every day we have to deal with this.
