Beggars among us

There certainly is a long tradition of begging in Finland. Just look at those old men standing in front or inside of our old churches, waiting to get some coins. OK, they are made of wood, but beggars anyway. So why are we now so sensitive to see beggars in our streets? Would they be more acceptable if they would be begging in front of the churches instead of the department stores?
