    It really is quite beautiful. Wish we had more of these in the States but it’s looking like we’ll never give up our cars.

      Going the same way in the UK. London is the only city with a useful underground rail network and those stations are full of ads and are mostly badly designed

      US government: best i can do is remove benches, so homeless people can’t sleep in it. take it or leave it 😉

        That’s more just shitty and ineffective local town governments tbh.

            Bro, I live in America okay? There’s no federal law mandating benches be awful. These are all local laws or city ordinances voted for by citizens who are unsympathetic to the homeless.

              I don’t understand why you’re defending this shit. Also, that’s still the US gov’s fault.

                I am not defending shit dude. I am just saying to put the blame in the right place. The US government didn’t remove benches like the original commenter said, it’s the local citizens who’ve done it or convinced their city to do it.

                    You are way oversimplifying things lol. There’s a difference between federal (what you call the US government), state (i.e. California), and city governments (i.e. Los Angeles).

                    These bench modifications are done at city level and it’s only because some residents have complained about homelessness in their neighborhoods.
