Cases against volunteers with Food Not Bombs were dismissed on Thursday, but the city attorney said he intends to press the issue.

    Are they blocking an entrance or something? You’d think the city would set up a location for them to do their thing if it’s such a “nuisance”.

        Those regulations don’t sound egregious to me:

        • if you’re going to feed more than five people at a time, ask for a permit and attend our seminar so we can advise you how to do it safely and meet health code
        • if you’re going to do it on public property, do it at the site we’ve set up for this purpose
        • if you’re going to do it on private property, go for it after you get permission from the property owner

        Instead, the people who got in trouble set up a food truck at a public library.

      The city has had an ordinance restricting how volunteers can feed people since 2012, but it’s gone largely unenforced until recently, The Houston’s Chronicle’s R.A. Schuetz wrote. The rule stipulates that a person must obtain permission from a property owner before providing food to groups larger than five.
