Florida Court Ruling Avoiding the Problem...

It has been decided that law in Orlando, FL can limit feeding the homeless in public areas as of this week.  This obvioulsy does not address the problems that cause homelessness, it simply tries to force the homeless out of town and out of sight.  What are the reasons behind passing a law such as this?  How does it hurt our efforts to provide effective services to end homelessness?

  1. When did the homeless become bears?

    "if you keep feeding them...they'll become use to people and come back!"

    Way to not address a problem.

  2. Homelessness is often airbrushed out of the traditional media and living in a tent should be by choice.
