It's certainly a problem, but it's one of the (many) that no one wants to address and instead continually ignore.
- hbcondo714 7y agoWhile between jobs, I went to the local library near my spouse's work in Marina Del Rey, CA. They provided fast and free wifi along with power outlets so it worked for me but it also attracted a lot of homeless. They had portable DVD players and would just sit and watch movies all day. Sometimes the librarians would ask the homeless to leave b/c their aroma was so foul (especially when it rained), would burst out obscenities or bring in a lot of belongings. I eventually ended up paying for a co-working space. On this article though, my spouse and I aren't into drinking but enjoy being out late so we find going to boba cafes to be ideal. The ones around us are open until 11pm, serve snacks & drinks and provide wifi. It even makes us feel young and hip because most of the patrons are high school and college kids who can't drink yet and spend time on their laptops too.
