Ah, Orlando. The City Beautiful
This is how they intend to keep it beautiful I guess.
They passed a law making it illegal to feed homeless people.
I suppose the idea is; if you feed the homeless, they'll congregate there. Or; out of sight, out of mind?
Either way, it's pretty heartless for the town the Mouse built. Wait. That's redundant. Now you know why I don't miss it much.
Anyway, the law has been tested for the first time. A 22 year old was arrested and tried for feeding the homeless in beautiful Lake Eola. Been there a hundred times. Disney holds events there. The homeless hang there. Always have, always will. Stopping the aid this man and others give them won't change that. It's downtown. The only thing that will stop homeless people from finding it an attractive place to squat is to remove all dumpsters and don't let people work, eat or drive there.
