Also, I’d be pretty okay with a small increase in taxes to create programs where these kind of folks would be paid to pick up roadside trash, or sweep up public areas or that kind of thing.
I would almost hazard to guess though that some of these guys make well over minimum wage at certain intersections, and would maybe be unlikely to work a full day for less?

I'm pretty sure it's a case of not being able to hold a job of any kind, even a relatively simple job of picking up trash or sweeping. We should probably be happy that we have a relatively strong mental health system and there are far more people receiving help than are panhandling. And hopefully those that are panhandling get some help.
