So, I like the idea of trying to make wheel chair users be included, I do, but this doesn't actually do anything for them. If it had a little table or something similar then at least they could argue that it might help them despite being obvious hostile design. But no. It's just ✨accessible✨.

And the backing will keep wheelchairs with handles from backing in fully.

It's purely anti-homeless masquerading as social awareness. Disgusting and the product of a sick mind.

They could just put chairs instead lol.

The bench in the background isn't like that. You would think it they were trying to prevent someone from sleeping there, it would be that way too.

I dunno why y'all WANT park benches to become homeless beds and parks to become encampments. I come from a country with shanty towns that used to be parks and that shit is not the answer. Anyone who feels benches should be for sleeping homeless is free to let them sleep in their yard, or open their homes and let a few crash Inn their living room. But I know they won't.

No, what we want is benches. And for people to not sleep on them because they have somewhere better to sleep

Hostile architecture isn't hostile to the homeless. It's hostile to humans, the goal is to make it uncomfortable to be there

I want homeless people to have a place even if our society can't provide proper ones, yes.

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Would you open your couch to a homeless person? I'm sure you can find one
