ff7 revelation leads local residents to demand the city council 'use some common sense' on park benches
Another day, another study that missed the obvious. So the city spent all that money on a "community engagement consultant" to tell them what any of us could have said for free, and it took a game from 1997 to make them realize it. I’m talking about the new park benches downtown. The ones that look like art but are impossible to actually sit on. Then my neighbor, the one who plays video games, shows me this 'ff7 revelation' moment where a character has to sit on a tiny, uncomfortable chair as a metaphor for corporate nonsense. And I thought, "That’s it! That’s our benches!" You don’t need a degree to know if you can’t sit on it, it’s not a bench. It’s common sense. But no, we had to wait for a 25-year-old video game to point it out. Unbelievable.
