  It’s more like “no kid should ever sleep on the streets so we provide them with shelter and support”, but that doesn’t make a good internet rant m

    Except for the part where, in reality, they didn’t actually do that.

      My knowledge is limited to a short wikipedia scan, but I didn’t see any reason to doubt they do it. Feel free to link some info if you know better.

    Instead the message is "no child should ever sleep on the streets. We made it impossible to sleep on this bench because it’s for people we want here.

      So you would prefer that there is no shelter and more benches for homeless children?

      I think the message is perfectly clear, and people online are just looking for reasons to be upset (not that they would do something about it, just posting angrily).

        I would prefer shelter and no anti-homeless architecture. But I get that you prefer anti-homeless architecture and no shelter, since we’re being uncharitable.

    It would be nice to see shelter and support being provided, rather than a bisected bench designed to discourage the ability to comfortably lie down for a night’s rest.

      As far as a quick Google search goes, support seems to be provided, they offer 2000 shelter spots across north America.

    I believe populace means the people, whereas populous is an adjective that’s a synonym of crowded

      I suppose “populous” could be contextually nounified in niche circumstances.
