   great idea, just keep the feeding kitchen far far far away and hopefully the bums will move elsewhere

      I’m an advocate of individuals or small groups dumpster diving, (I’ve found some ridiculously large amounts of good clean food in dumpsters before) and individuals can take responsibility for themselves. But I wouldn’t want to introduce that as a resource for a public program.

   This might be the only good idea to come out of Asheville in ten years.
