Wow. The money thing sounds INCREDIBLY annoying, and no, it's not like that here. There are homeless people who ask for money, of course, but it's rare that you'll find one who will persist after the first "no."
There's no legislation against pushy vendors; it's just not in the culture here, so people don't do it.
