Sensible sprinklers

Radio NZ reports:

One school and several businesses in Auckland’s CBD have installed overnight sprinkler systems in their doorways to deter rough sleepers. The Chamber of Commerce says it does not condone the practice but it is an expression of frustration from business owners that the council is not doing more to deal with the issue of homelessness.

What an excellent idea. Maybe they could use them during the day also for beggars.
