I’m not sure I can handle the panhandlers

I’m no stranger to beggars.

I’ve been asked for money in Milwaukee, viagra cialis Chicago, viagra generic ampoule New York, healing London and Rome, but I’ve never been panhandled as often or as insistently as I have been in San Francisco.

Just today, I was approached by six different beggars (including through the window of the restaurant I was having dinner at).

It hasn’t ruined my trip, but it’s definitely out of hand. Considering how liberal San Francisco is, shouldn’t these folk all be comfortably enscounced in government housing with all the free drugs/alcohol they can use?

What’s the point of being a city of bleeding hearts if it leads to MORE bums on the street instead of fewer?
