True, but I was trying to figure out the circumstance under which this ordinance would ever come up for a town government to consider. I mean, WHY would a city government have a problem with people feeding homeless?
The only good reason I could think of is the one I mentioned. If the taxpayers provided shelters for these homeless people and yet they continued to live on the street because people were feeding them there too, I might consider putting a stop to that as well. It's a waste of the taxpayers' money to build these shelters to aid the homeless when the homeless doesn't want to use them. Besides that, the homeless people would be better off in a shelter than sleeping in a park.
