    Seriously, have you considered that the same ideology that strive to choke public libraries, also the one that push people to homelessness? (At least unsheltered homelessness)

      Only at the lowest possible resolution image of the situation.

      I’m sure it’s possible to enforce a “don’t do drugs or jerk off here” rule at libraries, without destroying all forms of civic responsibility for the downtrodden.

        You don’t get it. We are saying that the same people who want to close down libraries are also the ones causing more people to become homeless and/or closing down homeless shelters.

        No they probably shouldn’t be jerking off at a library, but they don’t have anywhere else to do it. Maybe if you had been homeless you might understand.
