Look up hostile architecture and weep. One most common thing is benches that don't allow people to lay down.

We need some anti-bigot spikes instead

But they are pouring concrete on it to make it flat so that the homeless CAN use it as a place to rest.

In Hungary it is now illegal/ a crime to be homeless. Humanity is too expensive.

Yup. It's very common from China to Russia to UK to Ghana to France to Canada. Among American cities, anyone wanna guess what anti-homeless architecture Hall-of-Infamy cities New York City, San Francisco, Austin, Atlanta, Washington, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix and Oakland have in common politically?

Exactly, and it’s like I’m sorry this event happened in my life and now I’m not in a good living situation so wth do you want me to do???!

It's an architecture that doesn't allow homeless people to sit or lie down.

I have never seen these without thinking "Asshat". Especially now that I've reached the point where I have to take a break on my 2.5 mile (4K) walk to work. The only place to sit is covered in these. They aren't as painful as my hip is, but these are simply cruel and unneccesary....

Yeah there was a documentary a while ago about Hostile Architechure. It looks like modern art? But its actually set up on purpose to stop people sleeping rough, forcing them to beg elsewhere.

Lots of cities see them as a nuisances. To be rounded up and disposed of I was on a different list where one complained homeless people ruined r.v. parks and a woman who got evicted because she was in the hospital for serious health problems. They kicked her out because she was not staying in the home enough.

im really sorry that these things happened to you, but that doesnt mean its always the same. The woman you met at the end was just being a c**t, and that doesnt have to do anything with the fact she's homeless or begging. The other day i gave a guy who was begging 2 euro, he was super grateful and we ended up talking, and i was cuddling his dog. He was superfriendly and nice. That doesnt mean all homeless persons are nice either.

I would much rather a homeless person sleeps in front of my house than dosent sleep at all. Homeless are not animals. They are PEOPLE. Treat them like it.

I get what you are saying, but if these activists keep reversing the “anti-homeless” architecture it may give the city a kick in the butt to stop wasting money on installing it. The money would be better spent on actual homeless shelters, resources, etc.

THIS. I was the live in apartment manager of a building in a so-so area of town. I had to deal with people passed out blocking our exit door (which opened outward) - at least twice. People s******g in our doorway - at least twice. People pissing on our building - many times. People leaving their trash (often empties) in our doorway / edges of the building. And on one occasion I had to call in the paramedics due to a couple came up our back fire escape and were doing heroin on the roof and the woman (apparently) OD'd. Then they had to haul her kicking and screaming through our building out the front because the fire escape was not a safe way to get her down. The "good" homeless people (I acknowledge they exist) are not the ones camping out across your store's display window and/or blocking the entrance.

This is companies doing this tho. Imagine would could happen if they put their money into helping the homeless instead of deterring them.

It's not a lot". I wanted to cry. I left eating nothing because that was all I had. I will still give food to every person that will ask for it but I don't buy into making other people life easier with cost of my safety and wellbeing.

I see you've chosen your side. Pity it's the wrong one.

Hell yeah! I read on another site about a man who stumbled on some hostile architecture and was badly injured. I can't recall the details, and I'm not sure where I saw it, but he was having difficulty in getting his medical bills paid. Hostile architecture is EVIL. Period.
