In the town I mentioned, there are few homeless or drug addicts living on the streets for them to preach to. Nor, I would guess, would they care to sit and listen to a street preacher. If they want to be preached to before getting help, there's the Salvation Army.

While street preachers aren't that prevalent, the door-to-door JW's are. Even the small predominantly Catholic town I live in now, I've come home to find copies of the Watchtower stuck in our front door.

Not long after we moved into our old house, a couple guys came to the door. One guy said that his brother-in-law or someone was looking at buying the house we just bought, and how would we like to go to their church? Naturally I declined. Come to find out later that some religious groups go over the public records of real estate sales to try to get new members to come to their church. Kind of creepy when you think about it.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
