      Anti homeless / hostile architecture. Prevents people sitting or sleeping there.

        This blows my naive European mind. To make an area deliberately unusable for anything by anyone is wild. At least those hostile benches can be sat on.

          You should see Madrid. Dickface, the major, has an special place in his rotten heart for hostile-to-people anything.

          The amount of bench/public spaces without shades or benches you cannot sleep on are legion in Europe, too.

          I was surprised to find the new trainstation in a Finnish town has benches that prevent lying down on them. Apparently someone’s been taking notes here 😕
