For people who are so concerned about city money, it seems like these activists are spending a lot of the city's time and money in lawsuits. Put your time and money where your mouths are and try to help the city's homeless find jobs and places to live. Perpetuating the problem isn't helping anything. Try for solutions, not just bandaids. The ability to panhandle or sleep on the mall doesn't solve or help anything...if anything you are cutting off your nose to spite your face. If people don't spend money on the mall, buisnesses fold as you so gleefully report. When these shops close down, they don't pay taxes. When there is no tax revenue, there are no homeless shelters. That isn't good for anyone.
