Thanks for the link to the Prince Hotel piece. It's so sad and sickening, I still can't get over this.
That Save the Lower East Side post is both kind of old now, and if you read the comments, you'll see that it's a rant with nothing to back it up. In fact, the very people who are being accused of trying to end the food handouts appear to be big supporters of them, and are not trying to do anything to curb or halt them.
I'm kind of surprised you've linked to something so late, but also so suspect. This one smells funny.
