The problem is this only works in areas where the homeless aren't a majority of drug addicts. In North America this is infeasable they will piss and leave syringes everywhere. This just creates avoidable work for the people cleaning out this stuff.
It's so fucking annoying when people say shit like this as if other countries (even some cities in the US) haven't had this figured out for years at this point. Do like the minimum amount of research.
Then you don't want to remove benches. You want, at very least, some kind of shelter system, Supervised Injection Sites, and an adequate social security and healthcare system to support those that are ready to quit their addiction.
Removing the benches from public transport stations just spreads out the problem.
If only we would think of things to help house the homeless, instead of seeing them as a nuisance.
Oh no! You mean the city will have to employ more janitors?!? The horror!!
