The once beautiful library in downtown San Diego has become a cesspool of vagrants and the filth and degenerecy they bring with them.

There’s a beautiful, huge, century-old public library not all that far from me. It’s in a distressed area. I know a lady that works there. She says that the library is now also a day care center.
By that, she means moms drop their kids off in the morning, then go off drinking, carousing, whatever. Then they come back just before the library closes for the day.
So the library board is thinking about instituting a “no unaccompanied children” policy. But I doubt if that will work. Mom goes in with the kids, then just sneaks out a bit later.
Then again, just as socialism devolves ultimately into soul-crushing communism because socialism fails to consider -- much less accept -- the basic attributes of human behavior, so do the promises and "good intentions" of modern Leftism inevitably devolve into anarchy then into soul-crushing tyranny by failing to acknowlege -- much less accept -- the reality of what results from forced implementation of their secular religious beliefs.
In the mid or late 90s, I brought my family with me on a business trip to San Diego. We were walking around downtown and stopped into a nice hotel for a break and refreshment. I was waiting to use the men’s room off the lobby (which happened to be a single stall with a single, lockable door. Two guys were in that bathroom fornicating making loud noises. I could not believe it. We skedaddled out of that place as quick as we could. Fortunately, my wife and kids didn’t hear or see it.
It was a precursor of things to come.
Are you kidding? Where else can you find a copy of an actual paper newspaper for free?
Time to admit that the public library has as much value to our society as a newsprint newspaper or a print copy of a magazine, and stop funding them through tax dollars.
