A drug-addled homeless man made his nest in front of a bank in the downtown core I frequent. The bank's solution was to use their tiny employee entrance side door on the side of the building as the main entrance, and just keep the main entrance locked. And by extension close access to all their ATMs outside banker business hours. Not as a "one day" solution, but as a "forever going forward" solution.

It's hardly just France that's putting bandaids on broken arms. The West as a whole is so terrified of offending someone that they're breaking themselves.
