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.”
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.

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?

Their “fix” is just to try to make the problem invisible to their voterbase.
