    This article talks about the ordinance. Yes, you can feed them in specific situations and places. Still, you can’t tell me it isn’t making it intentionally hard to do.

      Pretty big assumption that all the governments in the many cities with laws like this are evil people coordinating efforts to starve homeless people.

        Well first, they don’t really need to “coordinate”. One city can do it on its own and the others that agree can follow. Second, homeless people are often a “nuisance” for cities and this wouldn’t be the first thing they do to intentionally make their life miserable (see anti-homeless benches). Some cities try to solve it with social programs, others just do this stuff waiting for it to “””solve itself”””.
