I think your instant assumption about it being done for evil says more about the country you live than it does about Finland, because homelessness doesn’t seem to be a big issue in Finland. That’s ~5k homeless people in a country with ~5 million people, that’s ~0.1% of the population being homeless.
The US is roughly the same percentage and it was definitely a comment from a US political frame. In the US they are simply more visible as they congregate in cities.
It’s around 4,400. It bears mentioning that the population of Finland is only around 4.5 million. The Dallas Fort Worth Metro area has a population of about 6.5 million and a homeless population of around 4,500
When the city government wants to install anti-homeless benches, but doesn’t want the backlash from installing anti-homeless benches.

As opposed to here where they congregate to mountaintops?
Certain demographics do not congregate everywhere. Farmers do not congregate in cities.
But we are talking about US and Finnish homeless who do
Also 70% of those homeless people are living with friends or relatives
0.1% is big. I want to see 0%.
We don’t have homeless people on finland. Or we do but quite minimally, the numbers are in couple thousand if I recall right

Lmao you might want to check your numbers
Sorry you’re right. It’s more like 5.5 million. My point stands
