People who currently don’t.
I’m literally a good arm away from one, and a minutes walk from two more. I’ve been there spending hours outside with the guy with a scar across his entire chest telling story of mustering his friend. I’ve been there to sit in the curb with a lady who was yelling down the street and showing her ass to the ghosts at midnight, who needed a long hug and someone to call DOAP. I’ve checked the head wound on the drunk who smashed into a pole out front. The routine mild annoyances like passerbys who get a little too friendly and don’t understand social cues, like the ‘yes yes good and you oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah okay can you please carry on I’m trying to play with my daughter not learn your life story for the 10th time this month’ cues, or sirens once a week at 2 am, or transient population who treats the residential roadway like a freeway.
They need to exist, and it’s good. But only a fool would actually choose it for their neighbour.
I mean, it’s good those things exist because they’re needed.
