Anti-panhandling ordinances are under fire
in Boise and elsewhere. When you consider that many of the people in question admit that they
pull in $30-$40 grand a year, I don’t think that stopping them from making
public nuisances of themselves is really a bad thing.
If they can make a living
at it, more power to them; but other people who set up shop on the street—food
vendors, knockoff-purse sellers, etc.—need permits, and can’t do it just any
old where.
I’m picturing booths at street corners with
Panhandler Permits prominently displayed.
