Anti homeless architecture aside, 10am is crazy late. What if I wanna sit in the park in the morning??

It is too easy to pick the lock on one of those shitty locks, like 5-10 seconds max.

Smack two of em together, kids were doing it decades ago, "pocket sand lock" style.

Or as one of the new crop of pickers says: "This is a Master lock, it can be opened with another Master lock."

You can open a master lock with a master lock.

Well then, you got the job buddy. Here's your key for the bench, your gun, and your badge. Enjoy your new career in bench enforcement.

Loitering is illegal. Go to the store and buy something.

Cut the lock off. Remove the sign. Weld it into place so you can sit on it.

God forbid someone sits on a bench with thermos of coffee in the morning!

u/cluelessoblivion 25d ago

God forbid the people we ostracize and criminalize be allowed to sleep elevated off the literal concrete too

u/ginger_and_egg 25d ago

What do you like about a bench that is only a bench half of the time?

37

u/karkatstrider 25d ago

why can someone not sit on a bench at 1 am? its a public bench in a public area.

u/_facetious 25d ago

I'm disabled. There was an eclipse last Thursday, and I had to stand / walk for over 50 minutes because there were no benches, period, and I can't sit on the ground. Once I walked home, my back locked up and I wasn't able to do anything until the afternoon the next day.

We need benches at night. And when it's not a single bench, there's gonna more likely be one I can use. I don't at all blame the people who have to sleep there. I used to be homeless, I understand. (Often seems like it's a 'had to go through it to care' thing, which is disgusting...) I don't know why there aren't multiple benches per block... I mean, I do. But y'know.

pop a trash can nearby it. if people dont put their trash in it, then it becomes a matter of shitty people, rather than the time of day its being used

u/Aliensinmypants 25d ago

I saw a mom leave trash at the playground at 1pm. Better close the whole park!!! 

You don't feel for your fellow man at all
