Aren't these kiosks an infrastructure/service to help anyone, including homeless?
Imagine some homeless spends a day at the kiosk and gets a remote job that requires an hour or so a day of online presence. And he/she can _actually_ perform this job thanks to this infrastructure. A couple of months later he/she spends another day at the kiosk and finds an affordable apartment (most likely not in NY). And Voila, we have -1 homeless.

This is a real concern when you're homeless. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-homeless-prefer-streets-violent-shelters-article-1.2564370 http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-homeless-prefer-stre... Also, I'm talking about a real guy. He's frequently camped out at the LinkNYC terminals on my corners. (55th & 8th and 56th & 8th). Of course this is HN where everyone is a self-made success and it's easier to pretend we care about the poor than actually care about the poor. I've been down this road here before.
