I imagine it would. If you read again I’m trying to distinguish people who are homeless and people who are mentally ill, filthy, and verbally threatening homeless. I don’t think we should restrict people’s access to water, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this was a motivation. I would bet that the least desirable people in society don’t have smartphones generally.

More likely a bunch of overfunded, SV nitwits sent a very successful sales rep

If there were a group most likely to not have a smartphone, homeless people likely surpass those who willfully give them up.
