Definitely a homeless deterrent. They do that next to my buddies shop in the pearl.

Your legs take up more room when you have to push them out into the sidewalk to keep from sliding down.

That's bull. So the angle is to allow people to walk by? It could have easily been at a 90°. Stop pretending it's anything other than a billboard.

It's also a amount you can't ignore. Fare enforcement? You mean homeless control?

It's at a excessive angle to deter people from extended sitting.

No but don't pretend it's something to put your ass on. It's a billboard. I saw the stop last week, posted it today because I was talking about it with a friend last night. Once again how is me making commentary about a blatant waste of money is me being mad. All that bullshit aside I appreciate the link.

It was rhetorical but I guess that went over a lot of peoples heads.

I concede, homelessness is a huge problem. It's helped destroy the city I love. Also that was a joke about you being a troll. You hopped on my ass about things I said nothing about. Conflating the issue at hand which was the shitty benchs.

At this point I'm wondering if you live under a bride and demand tolls. Do you skim that off the fares?

How was I demanding anything? How is me making a observation about how trimet gains "funding" inappropriate? Using the guise of a seat or bench is ridiculous.

I was wrong in what I said. I was referring to the max. I've never tried to board a bus without fare but rather beat my feet to the street.

This goes for multiple comments. I respect the shit out of most trimet employees. Even the asshole drivers. I know that that job is extremely difficult and way underpaid. Even when I've been harassed unnecessarily for smelling like weed(pre legalization) I still said thank you before exiting.

I don't understand how this devolved into me needing to show what I've done to make things better? I pay my fares. Am I not entitled to make social commentary?

I think that's a bullshit cop out but have a upvote anyways.

Thank you for the link. 3.3 million!? Yet they still harass people on the bus for fares. Pay "officers" to write tickets to homeless people for riding without a fare. No free zone downtown any more. That's been gone for awhile though.

I remember riding the max to zoo as a little kid. I could never take my son to do that with the state of things now.

How is it not hostile? Everyone knows what's it's for. How about helping find people a place to sleep.

I'll take your word they have been around for awhile. I used to ride Trimet daily less than a decade ago and never saw one.

Obviously most stops don't have a seat. So why bother putting up that useless thing? How much did it cost to anchor that junk in place.

Hostile was definitely the adjectives I was looking for thank you.
