I was gonna say it costs 0$ to not to that, and that's when I realised that they actively spent money to be a pain in the ass of people who already have it tough.
I remember walking around Chicago one March and thinking about all the hungry people begging for food/money. But also noticing that the city was full of planters filled with cabbages and other edible plants and yet nobody eats them.
My family has planted a small edible garden of fruit trees for the public, but the deer come and eat up the food before people can. Then the trees don't flourish because of it, so they can't produce more to sustain food for the deer and the people.
Only the ones that act like them...
