but it works ok as long as its blocked off




A beggar/bum has a strong incentive to be as close as possible to the largest number of people with disposable income in their pockets (and places with free services, like public parks w/ restrooms, libraries, and charities.) This is in tension with most people's desire to be able to use the public goods their tax dollars pay for in the way they were intended, and their desire to be left alone while walking from place to place.


I became accustomed to a public library not being accessible.  In the Seattle area, they were generally over-crowded and unpleasant to visit.  I only accessed my library from the Libby app.


After moving to Indiana it took me six months to gather courage to bring my kids to the library and it turns out that when a library is used for its intended purpose it's really nice!  They had toys for the preschool-aged kids (for them to be distracted with while their parent selects books.)  When patrons only spend a couple hours there more people can visit without it getting crowded. It was how I remembered libraries when I was a child (except for all the Pride stuff, but that's impossible to run away from I guess.)

If it's an impenetrable fortress type thing, why keep these people in a city at all?  There's lot's of land in America that is undeveloped.

I think the difference is before there is addiction, someone might be able to have 3 servings of alcohol a week (or whatever the recommended amount is), without much temptation to binge.  But after someone has had an addiction to alcohol and recovered, they cannot have any serving of alcohol without a strong temptation to binge.  There are alcoholics who are able to avoid alcohol entirely, but not many who are able to go from alcoholic to having a healthy moderate relationship to alcohol.
