Now what if you saw the same guy there, for 5+ years. Everyday he wants you to give him money with a different scheme/story. Everytime some gullible tourist gives him money you see him immediately walk into the nearest 7-11 to buy lottery tickets or alcohol. At this point you realize his job is actually to beg professionally. That is why it seems like nobody cares when you go to these cities with large 'visible homeless' because every local has seen these same people in the exact same spots for years running the same scams.
