I’ve seen some of the homeless people who get burritos from them litter the garbage and then just hang out at the park all day and leave a mess. Seems like a idea with good intentions but maybe the park isn’t the place to do it since it makes the park hard to use and messy

This type of organization can't afford to own or rent property so public space is the only space available. How does a person eating a burrito make the park hard to use?

It’s not the burrito, it’s the blatant fentanyl smoking and open air bicycle chop shops which gets me

A breakfast burrito enables drug use?
