Commented "Businesses are actually being hurt by extorting customers for tips, making it less likely for some customers to return. Why not just include a flat service fee on the bill included in the price quoted in advance? Many restaurants are taking that route to ensure their servers receive a fair tip."

Commented "No reasonable long term solutions...only an endless game of Wack-a-Mole chasing the homeless from one location to another. The homeless are being treated like a bunch of lepers that residents with housing hope will go away. Good luck with that.....more homeless are coming with the good weather."
