Everyone needs to realize that most homeless people are NOT strung out on drugs, or homeless because of bad habits/lifestyles. Don't ignore them or hesitate to give them money because of this misconception. They're people JUST like you and me, who have somewhere along the way, been dealt a bad hand and are just trying to make it to the next day. Any of us can be in their shoes at any time - anyone can lose a job, a home, etc and we'd end up homeless. Don't ignore them, help them however you can.
this is just sad... a lot of the homeless in santa monica are vietnam vets (about 1/3 of all current U.S. homeless adults are), and hippies that partied too damn hard. this is why we need programs that will help these people detox, give them food and shelter, and help them get their lives back together. and also why we need to learn how to take care of our vets. we really need to make mental health help more accessible to all.
Jeff seems nice!!

wouldn't you suffer more from social anxiety out in random streets crowded with people than in the corner of a restaurant?
