Their system depends to impoverishment of somebodies and they still hate from poor people. That's hypocritical.

You could totally sleep underneath that bench armrest if you wriggled your way in.

I kind of want to buy tools to undo anti-homeless stuff. Cut benches' bars, reattach them to be level, etc. In my town they boarded up a High St store entrance that hasn't been purchased for months because people were using the large overhang as shelter. Pisses me off. My partner said I'd just be charged for vandalism if I undo it and she's probably right. But I care more about people than some fucko's bank balance

Yeah I don't understand why people think dealing with homelessness is making it harder than it already is to live as a homeless person.

Can confirm

So true, and then stupid libs will say "erm acturally those homes look ugly" or "seeing bread lines makes me uncomfortable" as if homelessness and starvation is a better alternative.

Not to mention that the bread lines came AFTER the liberalisation of said communist countries.

With big housing projects making a pleasant looking place to live is important, but less so than giving people a place to live

The very same people who call effective, government-provided housing "ugly" are the ones who pay almost several grand a month for a cubicle with paper-thin walls. Crazy world we live in.

Ah but you see those crazy inefficient cubicles with no room and walls you can literally punch a hole in have fancy and trendy paint jobs, they might also have a fancy smart tv that plays advertisements 24/7 and a smart speaker that listens for any sign of dissent. All that for the small price of $7,000 a month (with a 20%-50% rent increase year on year). Truly modern living the way liberalism intended.

I sometimes think some of the psyops followed here from reddit because there ain't no way every living adult human doesn't immediately recognize this as anti-homeless design.
