NYC is Building Anti-Homeless Streets​

“Hostile Architecture” has many purposes, but should it be used against NYC’s most vulnerable? There are examples of this type of design all over the city, some by private companies, and others by the city itself.

Actually, fast food restaurants from Mickey D's to Dennys were the first to come up with so-called "hostile architecture" - furniture designed to become more uncomfortable the longer you sit on it.

Oh no! No comfy furniture for the bums and druggies to lay around on!

ANYONE THAT REMEMBERS THE OLD MCDONALDS RESTAURANTS WITH THE ARCHES, recalls the tile seats to make us teenagers to get in, and get out.

Oh no! No comfy furniture for the bums and druggies to lay around on!

So much for diversity and inclusiveness.
