Atlanta’s Solution To The Homeless Problem: Make Homelessness Illegal.

The Atlanta City Council has voted to make panhandling illegal in much of the city. Third-time offenders will be jailed for 30 days and face a $1,000 fine. No word yet if some of those homeless folks were among the thousands of city workers who was given a pink slip in 2002.

Miami,
shortly after I graduated from high school, I came across some bad luck and spent 6 months homeless. Since then, I have given 5 different homeless people a place to eat and sleep to help them get back on their feet. Almost NOBODY chooses to be homeless, and the only ones that I've ever met who has, had some sort of mental illness.
