Interesting. Do the needs of homeless people that a project like CPL potentially helps to mitigate even a small bit detract from the usefulness of the data? If anything, I think it would illustrate the higher accessibility and community function of a public library as compared to an "events centre."
I haven't lived in Calgary for a long time, but my own town has a serious issue with homelessness. If my tax dollars produced some unintended relief to the most visibly marginalized group of people my city, then I am all for it.
