Raleigh, NC: A city in need of a heart transplant

Mayor pledges 'solution' after police stop some charities feeding Raleigh homeless

RALEIGH — The mayor and a city councilwoman pledged Sunday to find a solution after police barred charitable groups from feeding the homeless in downtown Raleigh’s Moore Square during the weekend.

In the last month or so, police have been telling these volunteers to pack up their buffet tables, slow cookers and coolers or face being arrested. A city ordinance prohibits individuals or groups from distributing food in city parks without a permit...

Seems that the problem is redevelopment limiting the number of locations for these events.
