This is a tricky issue. More than once, I've argued against allowing homeless to set up camps on major streets. We have more than a few of them here and, were I a store-owner, I'd be livid at the smell of urine, the litter and the panhandling...all of which will drive away business when the homeless are literally living in your doorway.

Honestly, if you were having your wedding at a lovely, historic spot....would you want your guests fending their way through the stench of urine laid down by people panhandling?

Please understand that I'm a flaming liberal--and I don't want homeless on the streets AT ALL! I want them working, living in small homes, with good hygiene and medical care. I just don't want them literally on my doorstep or on anyone else's, for that matter.
