To dodge a pan handler

Chicago has agreessive bums, they will come right up to your window, if you are walking they will get in your face, they bother you on the train. Easily 10 to 15 a day.

 

I think we disagree because we come from 2 differant worlds. In big cities we are bombarded with beggers, most are scammers. When you see it all day every day, same "homeless" guys begging in the same spots for years. Guys walking with a limp sometimes and not others, a "paralyzed" guy get up from his wheel chair, people who you know where they live claiming to be homeless, and things like that, you get sick of it and give up.

 

i drive around los angeles every day chicago is a small town in comparison. I just think Chicago sucks.

 

Chicago does suck, but so does la. The thing about la vs other cities is LA is more spread out. Chicago is very concentrated. Everyone is crammed together in tight spaces. In 5 minutes you can go from the ghetto to an upscale neighborhood

 

You drive in LA every day and only get asked for money every couple weeks? Yea right, must be in Beverly hills. There are tons of homeless in LA, you must stay out of their areas

 

i go from shippers to up railyards via freeways. They dont really get a chsnce no bums allowed where i go

 

Just read there an estimated 82,000 homeless people on the streets of LA County every day. So I call bs on your story

 

So you can't possibly make your bs comparison. I drive the surface streets of chicago through ALL neighborhoods

 

You calling them bums now?

 

I had one knock on my truck at 11pm when I was sound asleep. It was entirely rational to say f&$k off at the loudest way possible, but she just immediately went to the next truck to wake up the next driver. I mean, unless the truck stop is exploding or I'm some jerk blocking someone you never wake up a driver at a truckstop.
