If I were an evil engineer I’d make retractable benches built into the walls that cost money to pull out. If I were a public official I’d have a subscription package for $60/yr that lets you use all the benches in the city. Must have a valid drivers license to purchase.
I would let anyone extend the bench but if the systems detects the user doesn't have a valid subscription it folds back into the wall compressing the person into a chunky soup.
I would name these benches after our favorite economic model - the meat grinder.
Until they finally just make the suicide booths, people would just use your benches.
(I absolutely think we can/are able to normalise this)
The detection algorithm is also trash and may decide to eat you anyway, as well.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
I would go sleep on one the night my subscription is about to expire.
I hope you're not either of those things...
I would hack that system and provide cards to homeless people that give them free access to all benches in the city.
Boom, problem solved. With capitalism!
