    Cities discourage benches because the homeless might use them and that would mean acknowledging the homeless exist.

      That’s not always the case tho. Sometimes cities just forget benches exist. My town has no real homeless issues but still lacks of benches for some reason and the public parks team would rather spend the money on touristy shit like “dancing fountains” smh
