A band-aid solution if you ask me. However, I'm on board with Shannon regarding the idea that replacing panhandeling in certain areas with these donation meters might provide an incentive for the homeless to seek out help. In that case, I'm all for it--but if they can't panhandle in those cities, they will certainly move on and find another place where they can. I'm not convinced that forcing them off the streets solves the problem. It is a start, I guess.
Marry for love. Anything else would be a gigantic waste of time. If money becomes an issue, then at least you're married to someone you love--and you can weather the storm together. I stand by it.
