Where so many other cities have decided that they can't have public benches Vienna has decided to put in public hammocks:

If your city has N homeless people, the N best places to sleep will be occupied by homeless people. Crazy how most cities will choose to make everyone uncomfortable because they would rather see a homeless person sleep in the gutter than seeing them sleep on a bench or not seeing them because they have the human right of indoor shelter.
I'm incredibly jealous
Don't be jealous. Be angry. This isn't revolutionary or anything, it's just proper policy. Rent is higher elswhere not by chance but by design.
Oh I'm definitely angry too. I've been angry for years about how ass backwards my country is. We ought to have done this sort of policy decades before I was even born.
doh. I was hoping this was going to be somewhere in the us.
What's it like living with that kind of hope?
very disappointing.
It is demoralising looking at this image, and knowing with a palpable certainty, before even checking, that this is absolutely not happening in my country.
Nah, the us gets the guy that says not to make public housing too comfortable
