In the old days we had actual park keepers who would chase of homeless and keep the park good for families and old people

'You can't talk about society dehumanising the homeless unless you're willing to let a stranger live with you!'

I'm not actually sure,benches are made for people to sit down not for the homeless to sleep, it's useful for the elderly and people who suffer from a disability.

yes they need to be taken the majority of people don't need armrests all over the bench yet homeless people need a place to sleep. im sure there are expectations but the majority don't need those sort of benches

I have had a stranger live with me ... a street kid who had lost their way... but if I hadn't I still would he allowed to have a conversation about homelessness. It's what democratic societies have social servives set up for. Just because my govt failed in the duties my taxes pay for... doesn't mean I should be doing their job for them by letting people sleep in my house.

Again, I have worked with various levels of people in poverty and on the streets.... and I have met many who did choose it. They don't fit into societal norms in their own right... and would refuse a roof over their heads over the night sky. But by that token... why do we refuse them a bench to sleep on at night? Why not live and let live. Not everyone fits into the mold we say they should.
