French mayor puts cages on benches to dissuade homeless - NY Daily News
"Some locals backed the move to 'restore public order', but a former French lawmaker, Guillame Garot, said 'this is not France' and one twitter user quipped that next year the fences will be electrified."
We go through this cycle about once every five years:
1) Somebody decides there should be benches on Main Street.
2) Benches get installed.
3) People complain about who’s sitting on the benches.
4) The benches get un-installed.
I’ve never figured out if they save the benches to use in the next cycle, but there’s a significant amount of labor cost nonetheless. These cages sound like a good, economical idea.
Currently, there are no benches on Main Street. I read the other day about a new plan to install some.
