You might see pan handlers on freeway entrances and exits. You might see them on street corners in front of your favorite fast food restaurant. You might never have seen one before. Do you think there is a homeless problem in Salt Lake City? Are people hungry?

Why do you think that Arie? Justify the claims you make kids.

I think there may be a homeless problem but it could just be people want money. I think this because people may not be homeless but want money so they can have food. Also they might not have a job so they need money or that still leaves that they just want more money. I think we should have more homeless shelters so there won't be as many people on the street.

I think there is a problem because I can't go a day without seeing a beggar. It makes me wonder were all the homeless shelters are and if only certain people can get into them. I definitely fell bad for the beggars but there seems to be a strangely large amount of people begging though. Sometimes I wonder if some people are actually hungry or if they just want to pretend to be, just to get some money like Tory said. I wonder if there are not many or just a problem with the shelters. Or if homeless people possibly don't go to the shelters.

I think that when there is a big storm like now, that there seems to be less homeless people, but when you think about it there really isn't. Often the ones not in shelters are in abanded buildings, or have been in the parks triing to stay warm, while we are inside. Also they could be in a super market hanging out while they starve. They need our help and we are just sitting around. If we want to be a homeless free city then we need to stand up and help, not just sit around. If you have extra clothes you don't need then you should donate them to a shelter so somebody could put them on and, finally, for the first time in months be warm. If we help now, it will make it better later, and if we just sit around, then we will not be able to complain about homeless people in our city.

I think there is a big problem in with the homeless in Utah. sometimes it gets annoying once this person claimed he was homeless got five dollars and he got into a really nice car.sometimes people earn a fortune off of asking for money so sometimes you can't trust them

I think homeless is a big problem and I don't think its because we don't have enough shelters because we actually have a lot of shelters a reason I think people are homeless is because some people pretend to be homeless and we give them money when they don't need it so I think people should donate to shelters and not give it to people on the streets a couple other reasons is they lose a job or there house gets destroyed there job doesn't give them enough money and there's the people who choose to be homeless on purpose and chronic homeless they say is going down but temporary is going up and turning into chronic just imagen being stuck out in a storm or just the cold or in the burning hot that would suck.
