The problem I have with this is that it doesn’t do anything to help solve the problem. It just pushes people to find other areas to congregate, where more anti-human structures will be built. If Safeway/Sobeys wants to help instead of making it someone else’s problem, maybe they could partner with the city to fundraise for social programs, substance abuse programs, low income housing etc.

The people that these structures are meant to remove are some of the most vulnerable in our city. Pushing them to some other area by creating these installations will only separate them further when we need to be doing our best to support them.

Additionally, these structures take away from the sense of community we are trying to build. I think a lot of us have romantic ideas of European squares where locals hang out. That's part of what makes a city interesting and beautiful. Anti-human installations are hostile to that idea.
