    This would make sense if they put them out in public but it was always off to the side of one of the play places as a photo-op

    it’s funny because all this does it make it so NOONE wants to sit on the bench… like why even have it. it’s just a human deterrent much like their ‘food’ should be

      They’re just statues, I don’t think they’re benches meant to be sat on at all. They’re meant to make Ronald look welcoming. Notice how they’re never in a good spot to sit in either, like this one, which is smack dab between some walls.

        Yeah, the bench wouldn’t exist at all if not for the statue. If anything, it’s a photo op

        This isn’t anti-homeless architecture, it’s pro-corporation advertising. Feels like whoever made this picture decided on the conclusion before thinking about it for 30 seconds lol

            so first, McD’s is a franchise business. local ownership of the business, national ownership of the brand. legitimately, if you need to sit down they’ll let you sit down inside if they’re open. if they were going to chase you off outside, they’ll chase you off inside and vice versa.

            I know the owner of all the franchises in the county (i’ve played a few gigs at his mansion. he offered me a managerial position when he saw that i was both front man and roadie for the band (while the rest of the band fucked around, ate his food at the party and explored his property) and i stupidly turned him down because “i was going to college” i was such a dipshit) and that relationship turned into reliable funding for our homeless shelters in the county and free coffee and a hot meal that they can eat indoors for any homeless person who shows up to a McD’s in the area, so like remember people are human all the way up and down the corporate chain.

            money doesn’t make you sociopathic, it’s just that sociopathic folk are generally the folk who trade a lot of their lives and their selves to get a lot of money and that’s why it concentrates there.

    If homeless people were allowed to stay in the spaces that they’re currently being chased away from, there’d be a lot fewer homeless people.

      Like roadways?

      Being pro-camping is a weird way to say the homeless are fine in someone else’s back-yard or access lane.
