Along with all the usual and boring arguments you'd expect to see about homelessness (and which are already playing out here now too), there are a handful of comments from people who live or work in the area. They're saying that it's not a popular area for homeless to congregate anyway and that this action is more likely motivated by the National College Championship event in Tampa rather than out of any concern for food safety, littering, or homeless issues.
And what a better world it would be if everyone had to actually get to know a few homeless people before they could make any proclamations about homeless policies.
