I agree with you and the person you're responding to, even if I am an old coot! ✌️ Just because I'm in my 60s doesn't mean I've lost my commitment to others'wellbeing; quite the opposite, actually. I face enough ageism and stereotyping - please remember that not all of us are gray haired greedheads. 🙂

Lol who applauds new york?

The only people that think NYC works well are our elected officials and liberals who don't live here who are vested in nyc being a city on a hill to prove conservatives wrong.

Edit: ha, forgot the transplants who have to justify why they live with 3 other people in their 30s making the same amount of money they could have made back in ohio

Yeah no. Architect here. ADA compliance is taken incredibly seriously. Oh, and it’s also the law. And it’s also a decent amount of what you get tested on for licensure. Seating availability though is not ADA regulated.

As NCreature mentioned, the lack of benches probably resulted from a conversation like this:

Architect: “we’re proposing seating along the main concourse” Client: “is it required? Is it ADA?” Architect: “No. Legally it’s not required and it’s not an ADA requirement, but as a major public space—“ Client: “Yeah no. Homeless people could sleep on them and scare away shoppers and ruin our image. We need those benches gone.”
