    Those are usually placed with other benches nearby. Plus it’s an art piece calling attention to the issue, I wouldn’t classify it as hostile architecture.

      The one here in Dallas is not near any other benches and in an area known for people panhandling at the intersections. While it might not have been placed maliciously, it certainly has unintended consequences.

      I also have so little faith in anyone who holds any political office in Texas, I could 100% believe they would do it as hostile architecture, while pretending to actually be Christians.
