On any given day I count well over 300 between Palisades and Reed Parks and the Prominade getting drunk and screaming for change. And as I see where these people sleep - some have televisions, radios and even cell phones - and how they act and the decisions they make, I can say that they choose to live this way. Easy solution to this problem - eliminate the easliy accessable recylcing bins that these people steal from potential city revenue sources and ticket panhandlers (and those that give to panhandlers). Problem solved!</p>
