Reply to comment by riski_click in Enjoy these City of Boston Age Friendly Benches, year round! by _Hack_The_Planet_

Ask boston.gov.

Benches need to be temperature-resistant. People should be able to enjoy them regardless of temperature!

There's also a great interactive map where you can find one near you, so you can go sit on it.

if the City just hired homeless people to keep the benches warm until an old person wanted to sit down, they'd solve both problems.

Lol, have you ever tried asking a homeless person camping on public property to move?

I can honestly say I haven't ever asked anyone on a bench to move.
