You're getting heavily downvoted but at least here in san jose what you're saying is true. Many libraries are now literal homeless shelters. My wife is a librarian and her libarary just became a shelter despite the constant problems that are the homeless. She has to clean human shit off the childrens' computers but they keep inviting this mess in.
- krapp 8y agoGetting rid of public funding for libraries because homeless people seek shelter there only deprives the homeless of shelter (which they have a right to, however badly they smell) and it deprives the public of the amenities public libraries provide. It doesn't solve any problems. If so many people have such a problem with homeless people in libraries, maybe their city needs more homeless shelters that serve the same needs. I mean, they camp out under bridges and overpasses as well, should we demolish the roads too?
- tylersmith 8y agoI didn't say anything about funding, just that in San Jose at least libraries are absolutely homeless shelters.
- krapp 8y agoFair enough, I was replying to you and the GP.
- tokai 8y agoIt is a bad argument against having public libraries whether it's true or not.
- masonic 8y agoPlus, San Jose allows porn to be viewed on the public computers without even privacy screens.
