Houston permit rule stops couple's effort to feed homeless - Houston Chronicle
This story is getting a lot of attention because it’s featured on Drudge right now, but it’s the kind of thing that happens all the time. When regulations are put into place, there is rarely any real effort to understand their costs. We make it harder to help people, just like we make it harder to hire people. This makes hard economic times feel even harder.
when i was in college, i befriended a guy in colorado springs who was constantly at odds with the city. the guy had a super-clean food cart - exactly like the ones who had permits - and gave out healthy food at a downtown park popular among the homeless and addicted.
