Arguing that meal lines should be moved indoors, the legislators said the proposal would benefit both the homeless and residential neighborhoods.
I just came back from helping to clean out my Mum's garage (it's ~0°C/32° F here atm) and instantly agreed with this statement. Then I continued reading and went /o\ ..."anti-food-sharing laws"?? Like the ones for pigeons?!
White people move to downtown LA for the "grittiness," end up uncomfortable with the very people that make up that "grittiness," have the people who were there first forcibly removed. Fucking hell.
I visited downtown LA this summer for the first time in about 20 years and downtown was completely different. A lot of people told us about that tension.
The charities are looking to have this result in them being given enough money to get themselves a building or two I'm sure.
How hard is it really to work out where the homeless sleep when food isn't the issue, and select a suitable distribution point a comfy stroll away from that spot? Somewhere suitable for sitting down for a half hour or so, but not too close to residences or suitable for sleeping rough. Then tell the major distributors that is where you want them to go, you want them to clean up after they leave each day, and if they don't go there you'll introduce a permit system to make them go there. It isn't rocket science and even the idiots in charge of my city have managed to work it out.
I bet these cities don't even have ordinances banning feeding of pigeons or squirrels. But feeding homeless people OH HELL NO WE MUST STOP THAT AT ONCE!!!!!!!!!

Here's an idea, help create those other services then!
"These people aren't doing enough to help! So we should ban them from doing anything!" Yeah, that makes sense.
