I agree - seriously, if someone is sleeping outside let them sleep on the fucking bench... it's the most assholish thing to deliberately design benches that way. Moreover, sometime I MYSELF want to enjoy some sun on a random bench, and cant because of said design. Everybody loses. Objects shouldnt be designed with hositlity toward comfort in mind.
