I would certainly think twice about doing it where I live, although there are a few doing it.

I can see that busking might be regarded as a form of begging in some cases Martin. I would be less receptive to a busker playing at traffic intersections (around here, that's where the people with signs announcing various life problems for which they hope we will give them money tend to hang out.)

On the other hand, there are arts districts around town where live music, street artists and busking are all common and expected. I wouldn't think twice about busking there.
