I have talked to beggars around Port Townsend. They have told me that the average take on panhandling is approximately $45. Per hour. Believe it or not they actually split the day into shifts at the good intersections.

A pig farmer down the street from me has some RV,s on his place and has tried to have some homeless work for him for room and board. He tried it three times with always the same result; barely work, drunk and high all the time, disappear for days at a time on a binger, then calling him for a ride back once they had enough drugs, wine and gay sex. When he decides to try and kick them out they threaten legal action and call the cops on their I-phone paid for by DSHS. He had to legally evict the last ones. I told him he was a dumbass..
