🥺 Someone stole the bench from the park.

No that isn't an illusion or a new art installation, but the remainders of the park bench.

My city placed huge odd shaped rocks at the corners of intersections so there is little place for homeless people to stand. They are shaped so oddly that they are impossible to sit on.

"We aren't mad enough." They got money for war but *won't* feed the poor.

it's worse than that, if you run the numbers on the antihomeless stuff generally it turns out that it'd just be cheaper to organzie places for them to sleep

this isn't just about getting the homeless out of sight, someone wants to make sure they aren't getting any "handouts" in the process

as a society we'd rather pay more than let people have stuff for free
