Im moving downtown in the spring.
I got a highrise in the city of Dallas, And its always been my dream. Im from a tiny town, and several large suburbs that are upper middle class.
I have a kind heart, and every time i encounter a homeless man/woman (for some reason i have more compassion for older gentlemen) i give them all the spare money i have, but end up hurting the rest of the day for them,
Ive been told all the basic things "Theyve got themselves there" and ''Just dont look at them" but i cant help it.
What would be the appropriate amount to give if encountered?
I know i sound dramatic, but if youve ever lived in a small town you know they talk about the city as if they are all beasts looking for
prey.
Any tips from anyone whos lived in a huge city where you get to places by walking and had to encounter things like this?
And tips as far as protection (Ill be living with my husband, but i dont want to fear going to a sandwhich stop by myself.)
