The whining about panhandling makes it clear what's happening. The tech people from SF have brought their awful values here with them. Thanks a lot. Nothing has changed other than that and rents.

No idea what you're talking about. I'm not a tech worker from SF and I give money to the homeless if they ask. Doesn't change the fact around the winter situation with them gets particularly dire.
