don't those shoes on the wheelchair guy look incredibly white and new?

Having been to Beverly Hills, CA, lots and lots of times, I really think the paparazzi took the man in the wheelchair, if he was really homeless and disabled TO Beverly Hills themselves.
I was a legal courier for an attorney service and one of our clients had his law office above a bank in the center of Beverly Hills. I went to that office every weekday morning. While that was back in the middle 1980s, I never saw anyone who looked like they might even be homeless there.
I made several trips to San Bernardino, East of LA, as a courier and also to go to an Indian Clinic in a suburb, too. Near the bus station, the homeless shelters and even places of business downtown were signs saying that panhandling was illegal and not to give money to beggars.

i agree. people begging for money in Beverly Hills take a different ploy now a day. they'll be dressed as a tourist or a business person, and say that their car got stolen or towed and ask if you'll give them a dollar for the bus fair, or something like that. security in BH is too tight to see a hobo-ish looking person for very long.
