Fears of homeless people loitering or panhandling are among the reasons why the city isn’t installing benches or permanent seating in a new Rideau Street pedestrian plaza currently under construction.

I'm sorry to do this again, because I'm friends with Matthew, but...

WON"T SOMEBODY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDRENNNN!!!?!!? OMGGG OMGGG THE MADNESS OF IT ALL!!!

No benches is a gateway drug to serial nimbyism, which is the hardest drug of them all!! Someone MUST save the children from not sitting.
