    They’re preventing people from feeding them. Which article are you referencing? The one you provided or the one in the OP?

      That doesn’t mean they aren’t getting fed at all. I’m referring to the one I linked.

        I don’t know who you think you’re kidding. Are you really suggesting that there’s more than enough food for the homeless population in Houston? Does that seem like even a plausible scenario?

        I applaud their efforts to get homeless people into homes-- that is the only way to combat homelessness, but there doesn’t seem to be any defense in preventing organizations from donating food to the homeless that aren’t in homes yet.

          I’m not necessarily saying you shouldn’t, just look at the bigger picture before you disregard all of the city’s effective efforts…

            I feel like you forgot to keep track of usernames, my friend. Glad to see I’m not the only one that does that, haha.

              I’m talking in general, not to anybody specifically other than the first response

                Oh, well, in that case, I’d flip it around. Don’t defend the indefensible just because the city does good elsewhere.
