On-screen text
This city tried to stop homeless people from sleeping on public benches, but every solution failed. First they added armrests so people couldn't lie down. Then they replaced benches with leaning bars. When people started using building ledges, the city added spikes and other obstacles. But people kept adapting and finding new ways to rest, no matter how uncomfortable the city made it. They always found a way around it.
