Perhaps some of the money should be used for sensitivity training to prevent rape and homophobia. This shows the strength of the lobby for the wifi industry. It is as strong as the psychiatric industry which provides drugs to homeless persons but no housing. The priorities of the government are truly amazing. They match the public safety priorities which target harmless vulnerable citizens and ignore violent criminals. What can you expect with a lawless White House and Department of Justice?
[From article]
The Seattle City Council was expected to vote Monday on a measure that would fund Internet access at the city's homeless camps.

"That's too much opportunity for abuse," resident Cindy Phillips told local television station KING 5. "There are public libraries, and other public resources such as WorkSource, that can better assist the homeless in finding the jobs, or other resources they need," she said.
The money to fund Internet and wireless access would come from a budget item set aside to improve other conditions in Seattle's homeless tent cities, including access to showers, electricity and cooking facilities.
