If you're going to do this, please be ecologically responsible and reuse the material. Weld the pieces into a giant middle finger and leave it in the park.

Don’t forget, you can buy a hi-vi vest. Strangely, if I wear one people seem to think whatever I’m doing is approved by the city.

What if we just make homelessness illegal? That'll stop them.

Three options:

  1. You support putting spikes where people might sleep.

  2. You have a homeless person camping in your living room.

  3. You're a hypocrite.

Ohhhh right I forgot how random benches in the street are all actually someone's living room.

Benches are in neighborhoods where people live and work. There are a few (with the dividers that make it impossible to lie down on them) in front of the building where I live, so I'll accept that someone isn't a hypocrite if he has homeless people camping right outside his house.

Where do you expect them to go if you don't allow them to sleep in public? Where will you sleep if you ever find yourself without a home to stay in?
