I will spare you the details of my frustration, however, I would trade all of the crime issues for some relief with the homeless. I am tired of their free reign of the city and virtually every corner, redlight, and intersection in St. Pete. They are becoming more confrontational, and bold, and have actually begun coming up to people more often (my children twice) as well as parking their bodies in front of local businesses with their rediculous signs! We do have ordinances against such behavior.

Dawn Prillmayer is absolutely right on her comments. "Bold" is putting is mildly. I have been to Office Depot next to Publix, and twice I have been taken by surprise by someone standing right up behind me begging for money. I have driven down Gandy on my way to Tampa and have actually had the "sign beggars" walk right up to my window like it's their right to be in the middle of the street scaring women in their cars. But honestly, I don't think hiring 100 more police officers is the answer.
