If you're like Albuquerque, and you're taking the punitive approach like we used to, handing out tickets to panhandlers or those who give them money, I'm going to suggest that your solutions aren't working, and I know you're not getting to the root of your problem in your city.
Si se es como Albuquerque y se adopta una postura punitiva como solíamos hacer antes, poniéndoles multas o dando dinero a los mendigos, he de advertir que esas propuestas no funcionan. Y no se va así a la raíz del problema de la ciudad.
