I can understand the need for "hostile" architechture quite a bit. Where my in law lives the playground is pretty much unusable as it is occupied by homeless people and even worse drug addicts. You can find used needles in the friggn sand pit where kids supposed to play.
Good work, keep the videos coming. In Stockholm, apartment complexes keep the recycling rooms locked so people won't pick through the refuse. My apartment complex took the pump handles off our wells so the Romani can't get water.
Good discussion topic. ❤ Most of the architecture is in response to mental illness. For example, urination or defecation in public isn't as much a sign of not owning a toilet as much it is a function of not caring enough about people around you and their right to a clean sidewalk. Mental illness deserves solutions yes, but we should separate this from the issue of people who truly can't afford to own a bathroom, most of which do not have mental illness. A typical median house is 400k with 2 full bathrooms. So a bathroom today is 200k. Our advocacy should push and urge people who have wealth to give economic opportunities to people in their country who don't have wealth, and specifically don't have 200k (after taxes) despite their best efforts to get it. Unemployment measures this neatly: it measures who wants employment but the economy absolutely refuses to give it to them. Would love to see your deeper dive into the populations who have higher unemployment rates. My only point is, we should delineate the wealth distribution issue from the mental illness issue.
That’s not how that works. Median rent is 1700 so a bathroom is 1700$ a month. The median home has 3 bathrooms but even if we are going on OWNERSHIP it costs like 20-30k to build a bathroom in a residential home. It just always requires land too
@@LucasFernandez-fk8se the largest proportion of houses have 2 full bathrooms at total cost of 400k. That's roughly 200k for a bathroom bedroom suite. The goal is to ensure anyone who wants a bedroom bathroom suite can afford one. But not everyone wants it, thus some prefer to sleep outdoors. Typically these are dealing with mental illness
Fail to pay people a fair wage for their work and effectively eliminate affordable heath care, mental and otherwise, and homelessness is what happens. This less a problem of architecture than social order.
2:27 those are Chamfers and they are meant to be a deterrent for skateboarding. That would not even bother someone sitting on it or sleeping on it… it’s just a skateboarding deterrent. Now some of the other stuff in the video is anti homeless archticuter but I thought I would point it out that the Chamfers at 2:27 mark in the video is purely a skateboarding deterrent.
