SLO attracts low-lifes

In response to the street kids, why wouldn’t they (or any other low- life, for that matter) migrate here? I’ve met others from as far away as San Diego or Oregon, who have come here because it’s well known that in SLO, you can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner for free! Want your clothes washed or to make phone calls without paying for them? No problem. What about a place to hang out all day and watch TV instead of work? Go to the Prado Day Center. Where I’m from we had a homeless mecca like here. Then, a city official came up with the idea of having people work for their meals and most other services (disabled excluded, of course) and guess what happened? Most of them were gone in no time. Gee, what a novel idea. I was homeless for a short period here in SLO and worked my way out of it. I met the street people. Most of them are there because they choose not to work.
