So true, and then stupid libs will say "erm acturally those homes look ugly" or "seeing bread lines makes me uncomfortable" as if homelessness and starvation is a better alternative.
-
The very same people who call effective, government-provided housing "ugly" are the ones who pay almost several grand a month for a cubicle with paper-thin walls. Crazy world we live in.
-
Ah but you see those crazy inefficient cubicles with no room and walls you can literally punch a hole in have fancy and trendy paint jobs, they might also have a fancy smart tv that plays advertisements 24/7 and a smart speaker that listens for any sign of dissent. All that for the small price of $7,000 a month (with a 20%-50% rent increase year on year). Truly modern living the way liberalism intended.

-
Not to mention that the bread lines came AFTER the liberalisation of said communist countries.
-
With big housing projects making a pleasant looking place to live is important, but less so than giving people a place to live

You could totally sleep underneath that bench armrest if you wriggled your way in.

I kind of want to buy tools to undo anti-homeless stuff. Cut benches' bars, reattach them to be level, etc. In my town they boarded up a High St store entrance that hasn't been purchased for months because people were using the large overhang as shelter. Pisses me off. My partner said I'd just be charged for vandalism if I undo it and she's probably right. But I care more about people than some fucko's bank balance

Can confirm

I sometimes think some of the psyops followed here from reddit because there ain't no way every living adult human doesn't immediately recognize this as anti-homeless design.
-
Their system depends to impoverishment of somebodies and they still hate from poor people. That's hypocritical.
-
I could sleep on That bench. I'm not saying there Isn't anti homeless design but that looks like a fancy bench not asshole design.
-
I would encourage you to look up aggressive architecture. This is a well known and incredibly common tactic in the west and the US especially
-
This is in Austin (you can even see an address on Barton Springs Road written on the bus). I know this area well, and those middle arms were added to existing benches specifically to keep homeless people from sleeping on them.
Drive by this area early in the morning, and you'll find all the remaining benches without the arms with a sleeping occupant.
-
I agree. There are certainly anti-homeless benches throughout US cities, but this looks more anti-skateboard than anything. It may not be comfortable or practical, but it IS sleepable.
-
True, it is sleepable for Homestar Runner.
