Hmm, I've heard of this happening in a California city earlier (I wanna say LA, but I'm not positive), and the reasoning was similiar to this city's (we don't want a buncha bums in a "good area", but I think it was also for health reasons, cause the food may not be sanitary or something).
This is kind of hard to decide on. I can see why the city is doing it, similiar to what Qube just said, but at the same time, I can also see why those people want to help the homeless out.
In my city, homeless people can eat for free at certain places (heck, I used to eat there when I was younger, but at the time I didn't know why they were giving out free food, just that it didn't taste too bad), although it does close down at certain times of year (usually cause they run out of money).
I think they should do something similiar, get private organizations to help feed these people in a secure building, where they can also get help to try and get off the streets (yeah, you'll probably say "they're just lazy, that's why they're homeless", but some of them are there cause they got laid off, and can't find another job. And without an address, it's hard for them to keep the job, cause they have no permanent place to live, so it's a vicious cycle that they'd have to work really hard on to get out of).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
