Advantages: None

Disadvantages: An absolute eyesore

Any city I go to, I find people sprawled across the pavement with a wide collection of blankets and cardboxes. Many also with a cigarette in hand.
Myself for one purposely cross the road if I can. If you give them something, you know it will probably go on a packet of cigarettes or drugs.
The Government also seem to say that they are solving the problem but everytime I go to Sheffield, the problem is just as bad. The problem is that the homeless are happy fending for themselves. For many, it was the way they are brought up, after childhood experiences, that they don't trust anyone. The answer is to try not to glorify homelessness, discourage it, have harsher punishment for people found squatting on the pavement and then, we may see some improvement.
