Bureaucrat scuffs dream of homeless shoe shiner
Description
He sleeps under a bridge, washes in a public bathroom and was panhandling for booze money 11 months ago, but now Larry Moore is the best-dressed shoeshine man in the city. When he gets up from his cardboard mattress, he puts on a coat and tie. It's a reminder of how he has turned things around.

      Here is a man trying to work his way out of the streets... and all the government can do is knock him down? I understand there are laws and permit requirements, etc. What I don't understand is kicking a man when he's down already. What good does it make by trying to put the man out of business when he is trying to clean up his life. Isn't that what they want from all their homeless? Don't they want them to get off the street?
