The homeless in Athens were mainly black in the 80s. There were a couple dudes that were legit crazy. Some I think were not homeless. They just figured out how to get money from drunk students. I’m not saying they were rich... just were enterprising. They kinda had rules and a territory. It wasn’t too bad. Then, after Widespread got popular, it seemed like a whole new version showed up. Deadheads in their 20s-40s. These weren’t regular Deadheads. They were filthier and likely heroin addicts. They came for the shows and stayed for the money/food. You started to get an increase in guitar and 5 gallon bucket street musician beggars too. In recent days, I note that you have all of the above, plus even more opportunists. They seem much more aggressive, because they can be and due to competition. I personally don’t care for that aspect. With that said, having had to work in San Francisco a good bit the last few years, Athens has a long way to go to be in their level of horrible.

Unless SCAD is recruiting guys in their late 50’s then no...these weren’t SCAD kids.

FWIW, that one lady is not homeless, just appears to be. She actually has a house at The Landings.

I live in Yulee Fl now and not one exists here. BUT... Jacksonville is Mecca for homeless. Try going by the train station on a Monday morning it’s disgusting

Downtown by the old Carlin hotel is really bad but that's the only place I've seen them concentrated since I've lived here

That's a bad spot too you're right. They seem to be a certain demographic. twenty something Caucasians with the severe stinky hippie look.

She might as well be homeless. She has no running water or electricity.

I travel a lot for work but Atlanta still is tops in homeless guy hard luck stories. They have the sales pitch down to a science better than any other city I go to.
