I understood it intellectually, but it was jarring for me to live in New Orleans after so many years in Los Angeles. NOLA is far poorer and yet has a tiny fraction of the unsheltered homelessness LA has. As a result, the former is full of public spaces while the latter has virtually none.
This is why ending homelessness is upstream from all kinds of quality of life improvements in American cities. Homelessness engenders all kinds of negative anti-social responses from policymakers, merchants and civil society it’s a viscous cycle.
I feel like hostile architecture is a good example of what's wrong with society nowadays, inconveniencing everyone and turning public spaces into voids completely unavailable for public life just to exclude a handful of social undesirables without solving their issues

NCTD's CEO defends hydrogen trains and claims that catenary:
- has same fuel cost issues as H2 (fact check: green H2 uses 3x more energy; NCTD's H2 prices went up 160% recently)
- is unsafe in fire zones (H2 is more explosive than fossil gas)
- has visual impacts
