You know, every city has panhandlers, including seriously sketchy ones.

In terms of the really nasty stuff, I've seen more naked dicks in the nice, glamorous downtowns of Guelph and Toronto than I have in Hamilton. Tonnes of people want to live in places like Toronto and New York and whatnot, and they have panhandlers there.

Only in Hamilton do we treat poverty like it's a special feature of this city instead of being endemic to living in any city. Cities are the natural collection-pool of the refuse of the area, but somehow we've decided that we get bums and beggers in Hamilton because we suck, not because it's a city.
