Do you think aggressive panhandling is a problem downtown?

Asked at Massachusetts Street on December 12, 2009

“Kind of. I've lived here all my life and it's always been bad.”

“I don't think it's aggressive. I think for the most part, they're not belligerent.”

“I would say no, though I don't really come downtown very much. From what I've seen, they've been sitting on the side, out of the way.”

“I do, yes. Sometimes it makes me not want to get out of my office and walk.”
