Message: [QUOTE="shandeezy7, post: 2310635, member: 720"] I will say that in my neighborhood in Buffalo (Elmwood Village), a relatively affluent area with lots of young professionals, the main street is filled with shops and bars and restaurants, many of which have outdoor seating. Without fail, every time I am sitting outside at one of these places, I will have at least 2 or 3 homeless people come up to me asking for money. I even witnessed last week a guy come sit across the table from a med student and pester him for 5 minutes to give him money. Yes, it's incredibly annoying and certainly off-putting, but it hasn't hurt the vibrancy and development of this neighborhood. [/QUOTE]
