From what I’ve seen when this was first posted on Lemmy, “the site we’ve set up for this purpose” was the former police headquarters. A lot of people, especially not rich people living unhoused, might not want to go onto police property, especially in a city like Houston.
That’s an excellent point. It does surprise me that there’s only one designated public location. Houston is a huge place. You’d think there would be one in each district at very least.
…the point of the law is to stop people feeding the homeless. In their fucked up minds, if they make the city inhospitable to the people without money or resources, they’ll leave. Ignoring the fact that they don’t have the resources to do that. So it’s basically a “if you’re homeless, die quickly” law.
