If you dislike that ordinance, then fine. That’s one thing, and I wouldn’t even argue with you. Although - seriously. Homeless people down here do NOT need any special newspapers or whatever to stand on the curb and ask for money! And there are non-profit shelters that help set them up. Been seeing the same people on the same corners for years on end now .
But this one is an ordinance of the city of Pensacola - nothing to do with the state, which, btw, has literally thousands of miles of beaches outside the Pensacola city limits. Homeless people sleep on a great many of those beaches. And most of them have enough brains left to go much further south for the winters.
The blogger who wrote this is either crap at writing, or purposely tried to make it look as if the whole state was in on Pensacola’s thing. Maybe, writer would take care of some of the plentiful homeless in his home city of Dallas/Ft. Worth? Because - sitting in your undies in your nice warm house blogging about homeless people hundreds of miles away doesn’t do shit for anybody.
