    1:50 Her cognitive dissonance is breath-taking. Playing opera is obnoxious but badgering people for money and throwing used needles over the fence is perfect etiquette. Honestly, hearing her talk makes me less mad at the guy in SF that turned the hose on that homeless woman.

      The people who live next to the 7-11 have their own rights and their own opinions, even if you don't like them for whatever reason. The homeless people are annoying and so is the music. Both can be true. Ok, I don't like solicitors constantly knocking on my door, so I'll play super loud death metal to keep them away, who cares if it annoys my neighbors. You're not allowed to disturb everyone around you just because you don't like someone else. I will say this: hats off that the store owner isn't being violent. The music is nice touch, but neighbors have a right to complain about him just like he has a right to complain about homeless people.

    ATTENTION: Austin homeless 90% of the time are voluntarily homeless. The homeless shelters do everything, feed, temporary housing, they even open a bank for you. Give you all you need. But these homeless are on the streets because of drugs, not the lack of jobs. Tens of thousands of jobs every few miles in austin.

    This was done many years ago by the Mall of America to keep teenagers from hanging around outside the mall so it is nothing new. I doubt very seriously that this tactic would work in a European country because they are better educated and love classical music including opera. I have to admit even with my music degree, I have never been an opera fan. I am, however, quite impressed at how well trained and impressive some of the singers are.
