And if I haven’t outright said it once, i’ll outright say it again: this measure impacts the panhandlers less than it impacts homeless people or even actual customers. Have you see the it? Can you explain why a panhandler who is there because it’s a busy location next to a train station is going to say “Oh boy, I can’t sit right there? I guess i’ll go find another place.” because i’ve seen panhandlers set up milk crates to sit on beside drive-thru lanes. They don’t care how friendly the location is to their comfort, only to their earning potential.
I don’t have a problem with Safeway not wanting “stoned teens” and whoever else around their building, do whatever, the problem is that anti-human infrastructure is not selective or effective and it makes communities worse, not better.
