Just how are these people going to eat?
Does the city have to provide portapotties?
Probably not much of a consideration - this is just a march, not an "occupation". And although I'm sure that Mitch Landrieu is sympathetic towards this crowd, he's also smart enough to know that he can't allow it to spin out of control.
“Just how are these people going to eat?”
Pprobably very well, considering it’s New Orleans.
“Does the city have to provide portapotties?”
Why not? And set up a stage and bring in a few bands.
They will probably do what former persident Bill Clinton did when in college, he lived in a tree on campus while protesting he Vietnam War.
From another Freeper in 2010:
"I read stories from people who were in Little Rock when Bill Clinton took a mattress up into a tree and stayed up there protesting the Vietnam War. The Fire Dept would “wash him and the mattress” about every week when passers by told them the odor was unbearable. All the newspapers and articles and photos from the Campus and town Library were removed so that there’d be no paper trail. But some of the people in Little Rock recall the incident vividly."
FYI: I can't find anthing about this on Google even though it was common back when Clinton was running for president and there was a scan of a newpaper article. Down the Orwellian memory hole.
