- Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
I never sit down outside anyways and find them to be comfortable.
NYC is obviously replacing benches for leaning bars to control homeless people. Do you like them?

Do you think if people had the means to not live on the street they would actually choose to live on the street there's the flaw in your line of thinking because a lot of things change when you have access to opportunity and have actual income in wealth your whole mind set changes your whole diet changes the way you operate and the way you see the world changes.
Rather than accept the fact that homelessness isn't simple and it can't just be relegated to mentally ill drug addicted people and that some homeless people are actively employed while trying to find affordable housing. You would rather say that some people enjoy living on the street. Cause I guarantee you if you gave a homeless man the opportunity of sleeping in a $300000 Mini mansion or on the street they would choose the $300000 Mini mansion.
This naivete is so common to find in these conversations.
Capitalism and it's commodification of actual things we need to live to survive has made it clear that this system is designed to throw people out in the garbage who can't survive it. But rather than fix these complex problems or question them...they would rather say "they prefer living on the street".
As much as I've taken the bus for 30 years I don't remember homeless people sleeping at the bus stop benches. I usually see regular people sitting down, typically older folks. These just looks uncomfortable.
shyt stupid, breh.America will do everything except fix the real problem
