Just when you think there couldn't possibly be another battle over the behavior of homeless people in San Francisco, along comes a new brouhaha among the stacks at the city's Main Library.
The Civic Center building has long been a bastion for transients, some of whom have forgone good old-fashioned reading for bathing in the bathroom sinks, dealing drugs and exposing themselves. Recent notable incidents include a man urinating on books and another breaking a computer with a hammer.
But homeless advocates aren't buying it. After all, who else is likely to bring carts into the building, sleep on the furniture or emit a "strong, pervasive odor" - all of which would be grounds for suspension?
Jennifer Friedenbach, director of the Coalition on Homelessness, said the odor rule is just plain mean.
"You'd have to ask the library how that would work," she said. "Is there a senior sniffer, a supervisory sniffer, and are they the ultimate judge of what is a bad body odor? I know what I smell like when I don't put deodorant on, and it's not pretty."

“The library has hired seven extra security members”
“Extra”? How many security people do they normally have at a library?
Remember when the worst thing at the library was when somebody talked too loud?
Somebody is paying those salaries.

so many lifts, if she sneezes she’ll have an orgasm. Sorry, in advance.
Well played!
Lol, thanks — your post inspired me...
That, is a good one.
Pelosi is from San Fran. She can be the odor sniffer.

Better yet, since she is so compassionate she can house the bums...I mean, the homeless at her mansion. She would be solving several problems at once.
I truly enjoy public libraries and don't mind that my taxes help pay for them. I remember living in downtown Denver when they opened up their new multi-million dollar public library. It was a beautiful facility with enormous recources. Everything you could ask for from a public library.
And then the bums arrived...
Same thing then. Bathing in the sinks, drunkeness, psychotic behavior, masturbating to pornography, etc... And the stench.
As far as I saw it, millions down the drain.
If people like this woman from the Coalition on Homelessness really cared about the homeless, they would use the money they seem to be so good at raising on real housing for the homeless.
Most of these people need to be put into institutions where their needs would be taken care of. They are not capable of making daily living decisions for themselves.
IMO, it is cruel to allow them to continue to live such horrible lives. But the “advocates” care less about the well being of their target group than they do about their own self-righteous spouting off and attention-getting.
““Suspended persons would get a letter notifying them...”
Lol. Yeah? Are they going to personally hand the letter to the homeless person, or have the mailman drop it off at the local park or under the nearest overpass?”
If they want to send a REALLY sternly worded letter, ask for help from the Administration. That’ll show em.
LOL!
Well, HOW are they going to better themselves without being able to go to the library to read some educational books or some educational courses on the Int...
I’m sorry, I could not get that entirely down before almost busting a kidney from laughing so hard.
I debated that with myself, then I realized that they were probably not at the library to read Proust or catch up on postmodern metaphysics. At least not ALL of them ...
Funny thing .... These aggressive so-called “homeless advocates” would not invite these same “not-smelly and hygienic” homeless into THEIR homes for seven weeks for free, would they?
