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

Maybe they would do that anyways.

I live in this neighborhood. They are always there and it’s a park, so go to another one where the unhoused don’t run the show.

I am sick of people seeing a good deed, finding the bad immediately to criticize and idly imply their solution.

People litter. No matter what class they are or have

And there’s at least 7 if not 11 convenience stores with supplies nearby for people that are down and out
