I Guerilla Repaired Hostile Architecture 

All good, they've been been varnished with a clear coat and still standing strong without any spots. ;)

I'm not sure if it's really common but here where I live a lot of benches use a naturally rot resistant wood, native to our region

It is a reference to / meme from spanish youtube show called - malviviendos - ni uno, ni dos, ni tres - sino tres. I hoped somebody might know :)

Only thru pain we grow. And only thru growth we can be better humans.

Well having homeless people sleeping outside stores can have a great impact on sale profit, because a lot of customers might feel uncomfortable with being confronted with intoxicated people and therefore choose to bring their money to a different store. I know it's hard to believe, but not all store owners have tons of cash. Some might have pawned everything they own in order to pursue a dream of opening for example a pet shop or a place that sells organic tea. If they start to loose customers, they might go bankrupt and end up as homeless on the street, making the problem even worse. Yes I feel for the homeless and it should be all of us responsibility to help making a better society for everyone, but turning public spaces into dirty shelters making everybody miserable is not going to help anyone. Hostile architecture can actually be good for the homeless in the long run, because it might force them to go to real shelters, where there is a bigger chance for them to get the help they need.

So-called hostile architecture reduces crime, limits property damage, and helps maintain the cleanliness of public places. These design choices you dislike wouldn't be necessary if human nature were better, but human nature is what it is... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

​@@herneheimyou're making a big mistake Shelters are just a bandaid. The best solution to any issue is to prevent it in the first place. If we stop catering cities for cars the economy will be a lot better and we wouldn't be struggling with homeless as much Also you're only relocating homeless people elsewhere it's not actually reducing crime at all if not it only makes it worse and also screws over so many people and even causing death An elderly person needs to use the restroom but due to there being lack of bathrooms their vulnerable bladder ruptured which resulted in death Don't even get me started with how dangerous it is for children to be on the streets or any pedestrian for that matter

​@@heatherjones5983wrong its like dusting everything under the rug it's not solving homelessness at all it's actually making it worse

​@@soaringstars314funny how when you confront these "ppl" with facts of the real world in spite of their ignorance they soon go very quiet indeed...south park at this point has become too real-life to be satire ..."oh darling we must shovel all those homeless scum out of the way to make,e room for our new luxury mansions, air bnbs,holiday homes and swanky art galleries older posh soulless mean rich people so love to see

Basically utopia

@@markhaus nah, italy without emilia romagna

Precisely when I changed my Like to a Dislike. Maybe this kid can try and sort Russia out before criticizing another country.

@@markhaus ohios still there

Lmao how’s California doing?

> good for a small few You mean the > 99% of people who don't pursue a lifestyle as a homeless drug addict? The broad majority of people in the middle who want nice, safe, friendly areas to be in, even though they can't afford to segregate into walled communities? All the normal people with normal jobs and normal families, who don't want to have to deal with human detritus, California zombie infestations, poop and used needles during their commutes or leisure time? This isn't a fight of a detached rich elite against the majority. It's a fight of a tiny, self-selected sliver of the very least able, least responsible, least helpable people at the very bottom, vs the broad majority of normal, productive people who just want to live their lives and have nice things.

Your name says it all. That's part of what we pay taxes for, to aid the less fortunate...

​@@KyleKartan87and that's reason for people like u to pat themselves on the back??? Pathetic

@@KyleKartan87 Society's obligations do not begin and end with the homeless. Society also owes it to normal people to let us have nice things. For instance, safe, cozy urban spaces that are not marred by California zombies, poop and used needles.

@@OptimalOwl yeah, cosy spaces. Like Spikes in front of winows or unfortable benches...

@@KyleKartan87 Those things are a big step up from homeless camps, poop and used needles, yes. Have you seen some of the footage coming out of California? It looks like something from a zombie film.

I appreciate that!

Ah

Hardly vandalism....it's a bloody improvement

@@curiositypiqued6573 no

@@gilbertmckown6161 yes

Tory karen alert

I almost feel like it's on purpose this clip

@@soaringstars314 fair enough lol, yeah it does seem that way

@@dakotakatskey I heard that if you sit down in some places you would be asked to stand up and if not then leave. This is so dystopian

@@soaringstars314 Yeah, I've experienced this personally while taking the Amtrak through Union Station in Chicago. They removed half of the benches due to the "homeless". It is indeed dystopian shit

@@dakotakatskey ikr like all the do in their eyes is putting the dust under the rug it's not sold in anything and it just makes everything worse by encouraging it more if anything

Because pandering to rich karens and kens will always be priority
