    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

      You’ve gotta think that these people would rather use a toilet. Is the public toilet situation in SF really that bad?

        Do you live in the states? I’ve never really been to a city where public restroom access is well advertised or even convenient. You’re expected to go inside places of business.

          If you’re obviously homeless, ain’t no business letting you in there.

          And yes, that’s a typical US tactic. Instead of public services, we give control over to private businesses. But it’s particularly bad in SF, worse than most cities.

        I don’t think they’re saying that at all. Everybody poops. But obviously the library needs to lock up at night. Shutting down WiFi means fewer people will congregate, which means less poop outside.

        Instead, the city should provide public wifi and public toilets elsewhere, or maybe additional portable toilets outside the library.

          Why is that obvious or even a good idea? Providing services to people is the core contract of society.
