I don't keep notes, but subjectively I seem to notice fewer beggars and day workers lately.
How come?
How come?
It would be very handy to have vetted people who could help with simple tasks (installing Air Conditioner, Raking, etc.).I really wish we had day labor available at our Home Despot.
Well, they're not "Homeless". They're not "Transgender".I’ve never seen day laborers at my homedepot but holy crap lots more beggars and homeless around than I ever remember. Homeless are moving into my downtown now that we made them a park and nice bathroom. More and more trouble from them as well. People being threatened and attempted stabbings. I’ve heard of a few these past years and never had these before.
Home Depot has their "installers", but far from vetted. I once saw an wall oven that installed in a $50K kitchen by their highly skilled individuals. The oven was 1/2" too wide so they took a sawzall to the cabinetry to make it fit.It would be very handy to have vetted people who could help with simple tasks (installing Air Conditioner, Raking, etc.).
$50 per hour would be attractive.
Home Depot would need to be paymaster.

I would have rather taken my chances with a illegal day worker.

From what I hear the biggest problem now is unrestrained children of all ages. The ones who think it's funny to put an open container of deer estrus in the gift card aisle, or ride the kiddy bikes around the store, or open and partially eat something then stuff the remains behind the product in another part of the store.That has come to an end, it's no longer an issue in the store. Now it's back to just the usual non-English speaking farm workers, and there are not as many of them in the store as there once were. And "the others" the really turdy turd worlders seem to have disappeared.
So just like Albany.There isn’t many day workers but I can tell nobody is from Albany, it is over run with beggars and homeless
