Kick 'em while they're down right? How dare you, a public citizen, use public services!

Kick 'em while they're down right? How dare you, a public citizen, use public services!
- stickfigure 3y agoNobody is being denied public services; the WiFi works for everyone during daylight hours. It's just turned off at night to discourage people from sleeping there. They close and lock the library doors too.
- notaustinpowers 3y agoWe have loitering laws that would then go to prevent homeless people from using those services during daylight hours. My library requires you to have a drivers license and prove you have an address within that city/town to be able to use it. So a homeless person without a DL, or who never had an address in that city would not be allowed access. And could be arrested for loitering for just existing near a library during daylight hours.
- stickfigure 3y agoThe article is about turning off WiFi at night. Is your library the Eureka Valley library, or even in San Francisco? If not, speculation about what they do/don't/could permit is not constructive to the conversation.
