Finally, some good news! A guy in Denver is building benches for bus stops after seeing woman sitting on the ground waiting for a bus.... because that city govt sucks like all the rest (can't fix potholes, can't install bus stop shelters)

James Warren was walking in his Denver neighborhood when something gave him pause. "A woman was waiting for the bus, sitting in the dirt. And I was like, 'Oh man, that sucks.' That's not dignified at all. We need to be doing better by our fellow city members," Warren told CBS News. 

"And so, I thought, 'I could do something about that, I can build a bench.'" That moment led him on a mission to help his community.

Warren found some scrap wood, thanks to construction sites in his neighborhood with piles of discarded wood. And, because his dad builds homes, he grew up around tools — he knew he had the basic skills needed to build a bench.

He's built 9 benches and has placed them at bus stops around the area,  and says when people tell him the benches inspire them, it inspires him right back to keep doing what he's doing. 

"Because it's cool, it's no longer just one dude doing something for his neighborhood, it's dudes and dudettes all over the community doing things for their neighborhoods. So, it's really inspiring to see that."
