So you don't believe my rather ordinary and mundane little experiment happened, and you took the time out of your life to tell me that, spread your negativity, add nothing, then leave.
Sad stuff, lucidkitty.
No i merely commented on the fact that it was a story. Which is worse me taking time out of my day to comment on the story or you making it up in the first place?
I have been to boulder a few times in my life, including 2 summers and never saw panhandlers. Even near liberal haunts like vitamin cottage, and wild oats. So i have a truly hard time believing this tale.
I have a solution. It's kind of out there so bare with me.
Ready?
Google: Homelessness Boulder Colorado.
Now that we have cleared that up, are you ready to post your fourth pointless attack on my character ITT, or are you done?

I live nearby, in Louisville. They're out there. I saw one today on the way home from church, by Table Mesa Drive and Broadway. They're often stationed near the Table Mesa Park n Ride, too.

Well i am sure they are, but i doubt it's as bad as he's making it out to be. And even in the suburbs of rockville which is super wealthy you don't see panhandlers dressing in designer jackets.

They are out a lot in Boulder. Pretty much every time I drive home from church, there is someone at Table Mesa and Broadway with a sign begging for money. It is also common to see someone with a sign at the intersection of highway 36 and Table Mesa as well (by the Park n Ride). Panhandlers are abundant on the Pearl St. Mall. I'm not sure the OP said anything about designer jackets. Mostly they have on the standard uniform, jeans, shirt, tennis shoes, parka. Sometimes they have a dog with them, esp. at 36 and Table Mesa.

Young white guy. I dressed in my normal attire, which is jeans and an off-brand hoodie. You don't need to dress down around here. I have seen literally every day- and I'm not exaggerated for effect- people beg in skiing jackets that cost more than my monthly rent.
No, being scum isn't for me, unfortunately. My experiment was the first and last of my begging.
I am."
