    Different take on the bench. The dividers allows for the pregnant and the disabled to sit. Which I believe is more important than letting some homeless sleep on that particular bench.

      You can have those arm handles at the ends of benches without being dividers, accommodating both, people with movement problems and homeless people who need a spot to sleep.

        So you’re supposed to sit on the homeless person as if they were some piece of cloth?

        Ok.

          That’s not what I said. But you do you. If you feel better that way, go for it. Idk if that’s legal though. Maybe ask nicely beforehand. :)

        No they’re point was if there is someone sleeping on the bench there isn’t space for someone to sit who needs to sit

          Most people sleep at night. Pregnant and people with movement impairments are usually not met at night.

            People are not the norm though, there are plenty of situations where there is conflict like at transit hubs like bus stops and train stations

              You are absolutley right. Wouldn’t it be a great idea then to build more benches or fight causes for homelessness in general instead of shooing some away from some benches?
