I swear I’m not. It’s entirely possible that I’m being slow, but I’m really just trying to understand so I can identify these things better in the future. Because I seriously don’t get it, there’s still plenty of room to lie down between them?
Part of the hostile architecture is the hostility you receive by asking about how it is hostile.
I immediately wondered the same thing so, it’s not you. The angry replies are because some people are just always looking for something/someone to be mad at.
I assume what you’re implying is that you can’t put a tent there. Okay, why not fucking say that then? Homeless people around here rarely use tents, for reasons that I do not know because I am privileged enough to not be homeless, and they could probably just arrange their stuff around those shapes, put their mattress between them and go to sleep - which is why “tent” isn’t the first thing that popped into my head.
Thank you for making me jump through hoops to understand a thing.
I have seen a lot of homeless in downtown Toronto who have a cart or backpack of belongings, and sleep directly on the subway vents with no tent. I get what the other guy is asking, I also don’t see how these metal silhouettes are going to stop someone sleeping on that grate.

I think you’re confusing real life homelessness with a cartoon of a drunk who lies down to sleep it off for the night.

That guy is tripping.your questions are along the same as the ones I have. A lot of unhoused people I have seen don’t have tents either.
Even so, you could drape a blanket over 3 of them and you’ve got yourself a free tent, so your question still stands. The dude’s just an asshole

One of the examples of hostile architecture in the OP is bars on a park bench. Is that to prevent pitching a tent too?
