The city is vigorously enforcing the ordinance against allowing individuals to sleep in the bus depot. The mayor argues that such vigorous enforcement is fair, evenhanded, and administered in the best traditions of equal treatment for all. “No one can sleep in the bus depot,” the mayor has said, “whether you’re homeless or the chief executive of a major corporation.” This brings to mind a remark once made by a political commentator. “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.” It’s time for the mayor to come to his senses.
The passage as a whole is structured to lead which one of the following conclusions?
(A) People should not be treated equally with respect to enforcing the ordinance vigorously.
(B) Everyone should be treated equally with respect to enforcing the ordinance vigorously.
(C) The vigorous enforcement of the ordinance does not qualify as equal treatment for all.
(D) The law holds poor people to stricter standards than it does rich people.
(E) In a truly equal legal system, no one would sleep in bus depots.

There is an ordinance being enforced wrt sleeping inside the bus depots which is similar to the one enforced in the past. These ordinances require everyone irrespective of whether they are poor or rich to not sleep in the bus depots or under the bridges in the respective ordinances.
Mayor should come to his senses now.
Basically, author seems to be taunting mayor and trying to portray that ordinance that he is enforcing on the public and his justification is not true for everyone since rich wouldn't sleep inside a bus depot.
Hence trying to imply that "The vigorous enforcement of the ordinance does not qualify as equal treatment for all"
Answer - C
