And yet, I knew about this because two friends of mine were told by police officers that it's illegal to feed the homeless now. The reason the officers gave was that it, and I quote, "encouraged their homelessness"... I find the so-called "safety" reason to be equally absurd. So it's ok for people to go dumpster diving, is that it? But not ok to eat fresh bagels... Bloomberg is so out of touch with reality, it's fascinating. I think he needs to be dumped in a third world country for a year with no money or shelter. Let's see how fast he changes his tune then!
