If only we would think of things to help house the homeless, instead of seeing them as a nuisance.

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.

Oh no! You mean the city will have to employ more janitors?!? The horror!!

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.
