There's a big difference between wanting benches more than not wanting homeless encampments and actively wanting benches to become homeless encampments.
Having public facilities that are actually useful is worth the "risk" of someone sleeping there because they have no where else to sleep. Fix homelessness by addressing the causes. Comfortable benches don't cause homelessness.

I come from a country where all the public parks have been turned into permanent shanty towns. I have no idea why anyone would want that
