> The thing though is Sacramento, like SF, has a problem where naked unhoused people urinate in the middle of the lawn of the main library at the height of rush hour traffic.

No, it doesn’t.

For one thing, the main library in Sacramento does not have a lawn to urinate in the middle (or any other part) of.

So if someone has seen that happening on the lawn of a main library in some city’s downtown, the one thing I can say for certain is that the city isn’t Sacramento.

I’m guessing, though, that you were just assuming that since, Sacramento does, in fact, have a homeless problem, and a downtown, and a main library in the downtown, you could just assume that some share of the homeless problem is naked and urinates in any given location downtown, and coming up with a colorful description you felt safe with that was not based on any actual observation of, even, the actual library in question, much less anyone urinating there.

Google maps shows that directly across the street from the library is a Federal building with a lawn and five tents of campers or perhaps homeless people, installed on the sidewalk. I take sacnoradhq's word for it, though you are correct in saying the lawn appears to belong to the Federal building and not the library.

So I suppose the real truth we've discovered in this thread is that sacnoradhq has never visited the city's public library ever....
