Do you notice the homeless people in your city? Or are they gathered in a certain part of your city or town? In my city you really don't see any homeless people until summer because of our winters and the snow(and not really sure where they are in winter either!)I know we have quite a few homeless people but you really don't see them.

We have nice weather most of the year with mild winters, although the summers are scorching, so we can see lots of homeless people. Grant there are more in some areas in certain parts of the city. You can usually count on seeing some at the corners were the exit ramps from the freeway are to the streets. The sad thing is that a few years ago there was an article that showed how many people did that to just get money. There were earning around $80,000 (that's US dollars) a year. So, I don't like giving money to them. I have no problems sharing food or buying them a meal. I have had a homeless person come up and ask for money for cigerettes. Since he actually told me the truth, my husband gave him some money to go buy them.

I notice the homeless people, becauese they are every where, in front of the supermarket, trainstation, in the city. I always see them trying to sell there newspapers, they have their own newspaper you know. They get money from selling them, so i see them the whole year around.

We see what appear to be homeless people on steet corners occassionally. They are out in all sorts of weather. Bundles to the nines sometimes. Holding cardboard signs. And it gets pretty cold here as well.

There are people we've seen in the corners, sometimes they are just regular people pretending to be homeless, but most other times there are real homeless people. But, the homelessness rate here has dropped. Even in the Summer you don't see too many. There has been help and assistance given. There is this one man however, who is always on the corner, always, and it's sad, but at the same time he always has different clothing on each time. The only thing is he never shaves.
