City of Orlando says "Don't Feed the Hungry"

See the link here

I understand they want to clean up the area they just built million dollar condo high risers on. But what do they plan to do, starve the homeless and hungry to death so a rich old lady feels safe to walk "fifi"?? Don't take offense if you are a rich old lady and have a dog named "fifi" (the names can be interchanged easily). They built these condos knowing full well that Lake Eola is in the heart of downtown and is the heart of the homeless population. Now they want to starve them out, why didn't they set some money aside to build a soup kitchen or shelter. Seems it would have solved their problem, helped the condos image, and also helped the homeless get food and maybe some of these millionaires could have mentored or helped get the homeless back on their feet. But that would be way too easy, silly me.

This is going on everywhere. Displaced residents from Chicago housing projects feel the brunt too. No wonder why the property on the South Side is so hot-here comes the condos. There are a lot of pros and cons on this issue. Some say that poorer areas promote crime. If these "poor people" have city jobs, what do they do when their forced to live in the suburbs after their home is bulldozed in the city? Oh yes, they knew what they were doing in the 50's, those fools!!
