Is anyone here from the Cincinnati area? [View all]

I just had my first business trip there. It was a bit more interesting then I thought it would be. A lot of interesting architecture, very cozy downtown, not quite as white-bread as I expected. However, I did not expect the huge homeless problem they have there. Does anyone know if they are trying to help these people? A lot of them were very aggressive. I gave quite a bit of money away, but I have lived in NYC, Boston and SF and have never quite seen such a visible homeless problem as I did in Cinci. Does anyone have any insight to this problem?
