I heard the phrase "$30,000 portable bench" yesterday and I am mentally filing that away in my 'casual dunks' file under 'access to seating in public areas'.
Seating access, car mention
@t54r4n1 imagine how cool a little bench mobile would be.
Like a little scooter or something, but it's just a bench that you can chill on. Idk. I think I just want this imaginary benchmobile to be my friend. Maybe it's a bicycle that folds in some way into a bench for pals? Maybe it's more like a roomba? I dunno!
I agree that the lack of public seating is nefarious and toxic. But I would totally love to see silly accessible bench friends around to help combat this aggressive, damaging miserliness. An old car costs a thousand bucks (for a bad one) and is pretty good to sit on top of. Thirty grand is a number someone made up because they don't want them to happen.
Seating access, car mention
@starless the trouble is I can't sit on top of any car!
the additional context is we were sitting on some steps staring at cars parked on the street and wishing we had a bench to sit on instead of some private property salted stone stairs... so we insulted the car owners for having fancy benches they take everywhere.
but I do like your cute idea of putting a bench out!! do it do it do it
