          Actually, they are. As far as the average conservative cares, both of them are dirty pests that should be driven away.

            And under no circumstances should you feed them or they’ll become dependent on you and keep coming back. It’s better to let them die.

              Might as well just put em out of their misery note then.

            You could also petition the city for public toilets to be available for homeless people. I mean, every construction site/ public festival I see those aqua blue porta potties. I bet they would rather shit in one of them since no public facility/business will let them in to do that. Everyone poops. Even dogs, pigeons, rabbists, racoons and deer.

            You’re not wrong but people gotta defecate and frequently have no where to do it. If we cared for our people, with housing in this case, it would benefit literally everyone else too.

            The difference is if you build public bathrooms, the pigeons won’t use them. If humans are shitting outside to a degree it becomes a problem, the problem isn’t the people doing the shitting.

            Now, if we could get pigeons to use a bathroom, or even a shitting mat, that would be an achievement.

        They keep the homeless at bay, but wait until the Ayurveda Yoga crowd discovers them. They’ll be worse than a pidgeon infestation.

        The last one is an actual safety hazard. Imagine someone slipping and falling (think icy sidewalks) and taking one of those to the face.

        i think the things on the green bench might be anti-handholding or anti-cuddling things instead. you know, to aid against the display of lewd activity in public (/s)
