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

      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.

        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

      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.

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