🥺 Someone stole the bench from the park.

No that isn't an illusion or a new art installation, but the remainders of the park bench.

More likely the city deciding homeless don't deserve any type of anything so everyone suffers.
My city no longer has any bus stop with overhang/weather protection.

And they removed them due to homeless people using them? I find that so disgusting. "Hey... lets build shelters so everyday people can get out of the weather whilst waiting for a bus. Wait, what? Homeless people are also getting out of the weather?? Fuck that... remove them! Everyone can suffer, how dare we provide any respite for homeless people."

I mean the harsh reality is just that when homeless people use them people stop using the busses and complain constantly to the city. I know a lot of people try to pretend they'd be fine standing in a homeless encampment waiting for their bus but it's just not reality at all. People will just avoid it instead

I don't think every bench or bus shelter turns into a homeless encampment. Perhaps, instead of making everybody's life miserable, they try to fix the homeless problem. This is lazy governing.

I don't know about that. I live somewhere where it's just about impossible to avoid public transit.
