Plenty of unhoused people have mobile phones and corresponding plans.

Who? Which library is at #2?

That's the topic of discussion at hand.

I'm not saying we should exclude people for what they may or may not have. I am saying that it is better to serve everyone, and that serving more than 0 people is a better option than serving exactly 0 people.

That’s the topic of discussion at hand.

When you say “we are at 2”, you make it sound like the royal “we” as a society. So it’s not the right language for what you were trying to express. The correct pronoun would be “they”. Some libraries are inclusive and some are not. The exclusive ones are at #2.

BTW- this necropost is due to Beehaw being unreachable for 4 months. I finally got back in today to see your msg.
