Probably too tired of cleaning up human shit from around the library. This is SF we're talking about. There's literally a poop map

I guess the thought process is they wouldn't be as likely to make that area their permanent camp spot if they didn't have wifi access... Maybe....I dunno

What's the reasoning there? Are people without houses not allowed to use the wifi during the day? Is there something bad that happens if you use the internet without a house at night?
