Nevertheless, even people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol eat food. Tracey, I seldom give people money, precisely for the reason you describe.

If anyone believes that Lashay or most of the homeless people are asking for money for food, there's a bridge I'd like to sell you. I have an uncle with a drug habit. If you offer him food or drugs, he will take the drugs every time. We have learned the hard way not to give him money. I will gladly buy a hungry drug/alcohol addicted person something to eat but I will not give them money. Are you guys serious?

When I see someone begging from my car, I don't give them money in case they have a substance abuse problem, but I keep packs of trail mix in my car and give them a few. The leadership of Atlanta doesn't seem to care about the homeless, and it's sad. A lot of people I’ve talked to in Atlanta have a really bad attitude towards homeless people.

I live downtown, and the residentially challenged ask me for money all the time. And the police are too busy eating donuts to enforce serious laws, let alone the one against direct commercial address. What?
