A big issue is certainly drug use.  Was it 100,000 people died in a year from drug use?  I see people standing on the corner and a lot of that is from drug use.  I think to myself, you know there are 20 locations within a few blocks, looking for workers.....but I think a lot of these people have done more than just drug use....they did some kind of petty theft to support their habit also....and that means they probably have some kind of police record which hurts their job chances.  So I don't know what the answer is.  We almost need a new idea with rehab centers to get people pointed in the right direction.  Because standing on a corner doesn't fix things and I don't think me giving them a buck or two is solving the problem.
