15 Most Inhumane Ways That Cities Try To Fight Homeless People From Sleeping In Public Places

That's just cold hearted. I'm glad they were able to sew it up.

This happened to me and, let me tell ya, the tears of pure RAGE which followed...thank goodness for Homeless Day Centres.

I work in downtown Portland OR and unfortunately I see this type of thing happen a lot but most of the time it is homeless people vandalizing other homeless people's stuff. I have to intervene one night because 1 homeless guy walked up to another homeless guy while he was sleeping and just started kicking him and his things.

people are C**ts.

No words... Distressing and enraging... Whoever did that should pay. Pure human scumbags out there!

Elevated sleep is good for staying drier during rain too.

This is own goal, this block not only homles but even people with wheelchair, at least mine couldn't not pass

hey! now they have a loft bed :D

Makes the homeless feel safer as they are higher up (like cats sleeping in towers)

Good job, sir

Do not fight the homeless! Fight homelessness. It is a disgrace for modern, rich societies that social housing is not prioritized.

You know... Its not about the sleeping. But, unfortunately about the mess and smell left behind. I dont mean it that against anyone but... My First high school entrance was located in a passage zder the buildings. That place was deffinetly been occupied by homeless people. The problem was, they not only sleep there, they also p**s into the corner and many time we even found a human excrements there, and when was raining outside we must standing outside on the rain waiting for the door to the school be open, because we would start vomiting from the smell in the passage ... So if something like that happened there too, im not suprised of that spikes. I know they need to sleep somewhere, but that place need to stay clean for regular people, who passing by.

Kinda looks extreme

Its the area IN FRONT OF peoples intercoms to come home. Ffs no one wants smelly junkie on a way to the building asking for “a spare change”

Take all that money spent on deterrents and provide a decent place to sleep.

I'd slide in and sleep soundly in there

Inclusive? Or you like actual rainbows. How did gays get a monopoly on the visible spectrum?

just slide through the middle & then it will hold you in when youre sleepin

This could actually be OK if there is enough room for someone under the armrests Wishful thinking, I suppose.

Actually saves you from rolling over and falling out of bed!

There is NO IRONY in this! The "decoration" on the back of the bench is from an organization working against homelessness and it has obviously been put there as a protest against this awful treatment of fellow human beings. Take a look at their website: LAScandal.org

Homelessness kills, I don't get it ???

They can use the benches at night at least that's what we can give them for now but putting some of that to prevent them to sleep it's so in humane. How I wish they can imagine the cruelty they inflicts to other less fortunate. :-(

Don't they have safety rules? That area is not safe for passerby

so.. what if someone accidentally falls head into those spikes..? worth it??? 😫

Looks like something from medieval times...

how the f**k is that even legal?

that's chilling. what if somebody got pushed. mean just mean

Kadim Akca came to Värnamo, Sweden alone as a young immigrant from Turkey. The first few nights, he slept on a bench in the Åbroparken in the centre of the small town. Working hard, he is now a wellknown businessman, still living in the area. Some years back, he donated a heated copper park bench to the town, depicting scenes from both Turkey and Värnamo, offering a warm place all year round in the same park!
