Well, just to quote Andreas Manessinger here: "For instance there is the dream of a bed. Do you know that those new, ugly benches in Vienna were especially designed to make it impossible for people to sleep on? How pervert is that? A society spends money on public furniture, and then cripples that furniture to a point where it hardly does its job, only to keep "social problems" out of sight?"

My guess is that it is something somebody at city hall dreamed up to prevent homeless people from sleeping on the bench. That'll learn 'em!
Seems likely, Tyler.
