Feeding Hungry Children is not Allowed

Posted on DateAugust 14, 2012 |

Claudia Gomez, reporting for the Philadelphia Fox affiliate, provides a great example of the failure of zoning:

Every day at lunchtime, the kids in this neighborhood can get a healthy meal for free. In a township where the per capita income hovers around $19,000 a year, that’s no small gift. Angela Prattis makes it possible.

…

The township says Prattis is in violation of zoning codes. She lives in a residential zone where handing out food to children is not allowed.

Euclidian Zoning is to blame for many of the issues facing our neighborhoods but this is a whole new level of crazy!
