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!
