    The trick is to spend taxpayer dollars on things that literally can’t be used, just to spite your population.

    I wonder if you took all the dollars spent in board rooms, design committees, manufacturing, installation, etc etc. How many homeless people could have been helped.

      Go even beyond that. Think of the world’s wealth and how far we could advance as a species if that wealth was used to help and advance our species as a whole.

    “The cause of homelessness is that homeless people are able to sleep. Therefore to end homelessness, we must do everything we can to prevent them from sleeping.”

    I’d rather keep standing all day before I build a bench that someone tired and in need can lay down on.

    Every member of this city’s council should be fired. Notice they also made sure the arm rests extend over the top so people can’t use it for skateboard grinding.

    You gotta be obese as fuck to not be able to sit down on that. It won’t be comfortable but you can clearly sit on it. I’m not defending it in any way, any and all anti-homeless things are evil.

      It’s not meant for sitting, it’s meant for leaning. But it’s primarily used as hostile architecture

      I sure hope an evil wizard doesn’t come along and curse you so that every chair you try to sit on immediately curves down like this. That would be awful. Any evil wizards reading: definitely don’t do that.
