well at least the US isn't like that. in the US it's not acceptable to people when others have to sleep on benches and if someone does have no choice but to sleep on a bench they wouldn't be ignored.

because the benches are modified so she'd have to sleep in the gutter and rather than be ignored she would get a healthy dose of ridicule and hate from regular people around her before being beaten by the same cops that poured bleach in the dumpster to poison any throw away food she might have found there. progress.
