This is somewhat of a old topic and I don’t know if it’s already been discussed on here if it has I can delete it.

Many cities across the US (including my city) are making/made it illegal to give food to homeless people. There have been cases of misdemeanor charges, tickets issued, and even arrest for feeding the homeless in cities where it has been banned.

Here is a clip from a article:

“Lawmakers who back food-sharing bans say that sharing food can lead to the spread of Hepatitis A among the homeless, but homeless advocates say that food-sharing bans are a trend toward criminalizing homelessness.”

What is your opinion on this ban, is it out in place to criminalize the homeless community or to keep people safe from the spread of diseases? Do you agree with the ban or do you think it’s wrong?
