That's why they kick out homeless people every hour on the hour

I saw a librarian kick out a homeless guy for sleeping in the library because "we have a rule that you can't be unconscious in the library. It's for your own safety."
WTF? What kind of danger are you in when you're sleeping? What made this even stupider is he didn't need to cite some bullshit rule to kick the guy out, because he was snoring! He could've just said "Your snoring is too loud, and you have to be quiet in the library."

The bigger question we as a society need to be asking is why does anyone needs to sleep in the library in the first place?

From my experience, politicians talk a lot about fixing that problem in order to get elected but actually do very little about it once they get in office.

I used to renovate houses for an organization in Atlanta similar to Habitat for Humanity. We would buy derelict houses and renovate them to provide housing for homeless people. Unfortunately these houses always had people squatting in them already, so the first stage of any project was us going in with various threatening hand tools and rousting out the current occupants. We appreciated the irony of this but I doubt they did.

Here in Vancouver, Washington, the city shuts down nearly all public park restrooms and water fountains for 6 months each winter. Ostensibly it is for avoiding freezing water pipes, but I'm fairly sure it's to increase land values of old single family housing that tend to be where parks are located by giving police an excuse to kick out homeless.
