On the day she is to move inside, Rhonda packs her cart and glares at a panhandler in her spot. She must panhandle in the morning to buy her heroin before moving in.
 Rhonda Bye had been homeless and panhandling at the Mission Street offramp almost since she arrived in San Francisco from Seattle. In the summer she was recognized by outreach workers and moved onto the General Assistance rolls. After a number of bureaucratic blunders, she finally got a hotel room and onto methadone.
