      <![CDATA[@10 Can't you just not open your door though? Especially if you are single woman alone at night. And- if it really is that scary and "personal" as you say -you could call the cops. I am also a single woman and I get weird white people (that I suspect are mormon missionaries) knocking on my door all the time. Sometimes in the evening, after sundown. You know what I do- don't answer the door and tell the go away. Problem solved.

      <![CDATA[I agree with #12.  Its one thing if its a panhandler on the street.  Patrick always comes at night, past sunset.  Either he's your new gay neighbor who needs a locksmith, or he's looking for Lincoln towing.  I think he's been to my place about 5 times since I've lived in the CD, and the first time is pretty damn nerve racking since you don't know that he's just hustling you and not casing your place.

      <![CDATA[Re: central district woman. I don't know why people feel "taken" when money they give to strangers on the street doesn't go to the cause mentioned in the pitch. It's just a hustle, and everyone on the street has one—either give, or don't give, but that's where ends. No need to judge, it's nothing personal.
