Panhandling Kelowna
Kelowna`s panhandling problem was never solved, the city spent $1000`s of dollars to make signs saying ``Panhandling is unlawful and unsafe`` yet they do not enforce the bylaw. There is a young man I see every day running up and down the highway by Gordon and Harvey, I am sorry but if you can stand on a median for over 5 hours you can get a job. Lazy bums.

Re: Panhandling Kelowna
I've seen people removed from medians, their markers and cardboard confiscated.
I'd like to see it a lot more however, but I have seen it.

Some of them in front of stores with their dogs, and smoking cigarettes at 27 cents a pop . No sympathy here. Get a job!

Re: Panhandling Kelowna
I went from fighting the other two at Cooper and Harvey for prime day time to go fund me.
Much easier, more lucrative, and I can lay at home whilst I make money.

Please give with your hearts.
Bless you.

Re: Panhandling Kelowna
Tired of bums! I understand many homeless have mental health issues, but in all honesty those young guys out there have no business asking for money. I`ve lived in Kelowna long enough to know the regulars which means they no longer ask me for money as I`ve already given them a few words. Old guy who stands by Costco exit loves his vodka, he used to stand by walmart exit also, he drives a van to his locations.

Lol. I gave that guy 5 bucks once.
The second I gave him money I realized he was half glued.
Next day he was there again.

Re: Panhandling Kelowna
There was one the other day at Dilworth and Harvey had nicer boots and a jacket than I can afford. They're not all homeless, just lazy.

Re: Panhandling Kelowna
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe those who panhandle are not allowed to stay in the homeless shelters. Typically those who are out there panhandling everyday usually have somewhere else to live.

Re: Panhandling Kelowna
Just Google "homeless panhandler has car" and look at the many examples of this often being a rather lucrative form of employment. I seem to recall a story a couple of years ago about there being a group that all "worked" together frequenting the Harvey Ave. intersections. I enjoy simply replying when confronted with - "aw man, I was actually hoping you could spot me a couple of bucks".

Re: Panhandling Kelowna
No but I wonder what happened to the guy used to hang with his buddies on Enterprise drinking coffee all day.
Seems like some places are moving them along - the woman gone from Save On in the Mission.
I'm weaning myself from giving money and now offer to get them a coffee or something to eat instead.
Lots on Bernard, I don't get asked if I walk down Leon.
