Vile. Horrid. There is NO justification.
FYI: To vend legally in a park you need a mobile food vending permit (only 5,100 available and a closed 10,000 waiting list). Then you must submit a competitive RFP or bid for one of only 400 Parks' permits. A system built to criminalize.

Politicians who protest shelters in their districts NEVER do it because they are concerned about conditions for the unhoused.
It’s always to score points or save face. Even if it means punching down on the vulnerable.
It’s rooted in anti-blackness and classism and they know it
