     @hj @kaia the truth is they’re hostile architecture to prevent anyone from sleeping on the benches

     @menneisyytesi @kaia i haven't seen a single homeless person here, we have free housing to homeless people and free services.
     
     Naturally we have high taxes, too.

     @kaia @hj

     I've never seen those in public parks.

     But in the park of Ainola, the house, where the composer Jean Sibelius lived with his wife Aino.

     There are two benches, about 30 meters from each others. There the old couple used to sit in summer evenings. No words needed.

     @hj @kaia there are homeless people in Helsinki, not an awful lot but still too many. And drunken people also occasionally fall asleep on benches even though they have homes.

     @hj @kaia sorry, we were talking about Finland in general, of course there are some homeless in every city in Finland. I’ve seen those single benches in Helsinki.

     Most housing services are for sober people so alcoholics and addicts are often the ones who aren’t able to get or accept the help they need. Just saying that homelessness does still exist.

     @menneisyytesi @kaia yeah I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I'm just saying architecture isn't necessarily made to be anti-homeless on purpose.

     @hj @kaia that’s true, in Finland hostile architecture is usually made to repel drunks and public drinking, not the homeless 😅
