In this case Finland actually takes care of their people and homelessness isn't a problem there. They're just really polite introverts who I might guess prefer sitting alone as opposed to on a bench close to others.

Source - my introverted niece met a Fin, fell in love, moved to Finland and is in absolute heaven. Her husband has visited the States a few times and is always overwhelmed with the casual social interactions with strangers in public.

Finn here, we still have a ton of those stupid benches with a railing in the middle.

Who's your favourite Flying Finn? Mika or Kimi?

Matti Nykänen. The one actually flying Finn.
