[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish there was a way to do this for libraries too. The homeless have taken them over.[/quote]

Yeah, they should just freeze to death! [/quote]

No they shouldn't but the library is not a homeless shelter.[/quote]

We should convert libraries and post offices into homeless shelters. [/quote]

B/c who needs a library or post office?? You people putting homeless before kids.

The homeless deserve to be there as much as your kids do. I know, I know. It's a hard pill to swallow, but just try.[/quote]

they actually don’t have the same right to be there. The library is supposed to be a place for everyone to be safely and comfortably to access media - it’s not a homeless shelter. If a homeless person is there to read the newspaper, awesome - as long as they are safe and not disruptive (including smell). A library is not a homeless shelter. I repeat, a library is not a homeless shelter.[/quote]

Of course they have the same exact rights to be there as you and your spawn do. You just think you are so very special because you can afford a shower. Get over yourself, princess. If you don't like them being there, feel free to petition your local government to open day centers where they can get shelter from the weather. [/quote]

DC has plenty of day shelters : https://dhs.dc.gov/page/day-services-centers

A library is to access media. It’s not a homeless shelter. Attitudes like yours lead to the degredation of public spaces, which will lead to a lack of support for them. Right now, taxpayers would rally to keep libraries open. But if they continue as homeless shelters, the public will not support them.

And f off with your supercilious references to “spawn.” The people who have the most to lose are low income kids and adults who need the library to access books & computers they don’t have at home. [/quote]
