 I love the contrast of the two people with all those shopping bags and then compared to the guy on the street who, if not homeless, at least looks alone and envious at the two people. It's a little bit grainy for my personal taste, but that's a minor detail.
-- We were born for this. Treasure every minute of it.  I agree with pullingcandy. Those days on the streets were harsh and the people were so set in their ways. Trying to survive with no food, no shelter, no other means to make a living. Just shows you how harsh society can be.
The picture depicts that very well. Kudos. -- Me, myself and I  I agree for the all stars - i will add a total crituqe asap.
-- Use your eyes and your soul to see and feel the world around you - otherwise you might miss the so few good moments for which we are struggling through this shit called life. [link]  It's well captured for sure. I like the composition but agree about the grain. Well done though. Lovely!

Critiques
I like the content: The girls with their bags full of non-essential stuff, their pant legs cuffed as they believe they should be, then the man we suppose is homeless, on his bit of old carpet for comfort and a ratty, thread-bare shirt. He looks to the women with a scathing gaze. Good capture of apathy seen in society on a daily basis.
At first I was going to agree with the other crits regarding the crop, and though I think a small amount of cropping would be in order to remove the dark elbow on the left, I think the message of this piece would be lost if you removed too much of the women.
I do see a slight skewing of the horizon, perhaps crop just enough to fix that.
By putting the focus on the man, he would have become the center of attention, and I dont think that would have been as strong as it is now...the women and their designer junk, money, fashion, the clique...oblivious to anything outside their safe little world.
Aside from the horizon tilting to the left, I would change very little in this.
I think it's one of the things being doing a bit of street photography that you have to be shameless, and to get the moment that could happen any sec, for just a sec.
Seeing how you managed to keep the frame compacted with people and the right ones at that, I don't have any arguments to make that better.
Still, three things bug me and i'll explain why they didn't work in favour generally.
The crop: I think you cropped this picture right? i'm not sure in which direction, but it could have been nice if we could see the last person on the left. Might add more substance to this picture.
The crop + the man (composition): if the crop was from the right side, it would have been great to move a little more to the left to get him fully in view, and unobstructed by the pillar on the right.
70-300mm!: That's the thing i believe street photographers have to overcome. that is, using a long tele lens and spying the shots out. go up close and catch the action happening! the story comes out fuller and richer trust me. (it does take some skin and risk of getting yelled at, but it pays off mostly)
