Being honest, I kinda get it. Sure your building is for public use but just because its for public use doesn't mean it's a housing complex
housing complex? you're equating people using wifi outside of a library at night with it being a housing complex?
this is just another effort by another city to chase unhoused people out of an area, rather than, oh i dunno, building a mother fucking housing complex.
your attitude is toxic and it disgusts me. we dont provide housing, and people like you complain and moan about unhoused folk to the point that we have cops chasing them around the city and no way for them to meaningfully interface with the rest of the world. fuck off.
the bar is actually much lower here technically, because an easy solution would be to just provide the service generally. you don't even need housing to solve this specific facet of the "problem" (although nobody should be homeless and we should build housing and rehouse them, to be clear!)
