I don’t know, maybe this solution is too simplistic, but here goes anyway. It seems to me that if the panhandlers on the street never got any handouts from anybody, they would stop asking and try somewhere or something else. So, how about if the City initiates a program that discourages people from giving money to panhandlers. That would include signs in appropriate locations, a public announcement campaign directed at both citizens and visitors, and maybe even monitors on the street who would discourage anybody from giving out cash. This might be considered another facet of our "Care Not Cash" program.
