We read in the ARA newspaper what the Sant Antoni neighborhood council's solution is to improve coexistence after complaints from residents about conflicts: "Remove 30% of the furniture from the superblock". That is, planters, benches, or basins that have "the duality of being used during the day by neighbors and at night by addictive consumption."
It's the same old problem, but magnified. In fact, in the Stone Age, they already designed some huge (stone) benches because the tribal leader was excited that "the neighborhood" (although it would be more correct to say "the neighbors") would live "neighborhood" life. So, now, neighborhood It was a myth word, like territoryToday, like yesterday, the people of Pedralbes, despite technically being part of a neighborhood, do not are neighborhood, such as Sant Andreu, as well as the Hermetic Zone of Sabadell, despite being technically a territory, not is territory like the Pàndols mountain range.
Ideally, in the Stone Age, as today, these benches should have been occupied by the gentle old women of the tribe, who sunbathed and fed the velociraptors (a plague that, because of these old women, kept reproducing). But since they were so comfortable, the benches were occupied at night by other old women, perhaps not as affable, because they were cave-dwellers and used them as beds. Sincovism was a problem in the Stone Age, but it shouldn't be stigmatized. They left their belongings around the benches: axes, fire stones, and a bowl, in case anyone wanted to throw them a piece of mammoth meat. In addition, those from neighboring tribes, who came to exchange hallucinogenic mushrooms and drink hop ferment, often perched on the flowerbeds. Self-watering planters led to the emergence of the "bronze thieves" later in another era, a profession that has endured, with some technical improvements, and that is a lifeline for the Sant Antoni neighborhood.
