These look like they’re
- uncomfortable to sit on and
- uncomfortable to sleep on
This may in fact be #hostilearchitecture
It is always worth considering: what is the intention behind this #design?

#hostilearchitecture like this really doesn't stop someone from sleeping here.
I know this because I've slept on some, because when you're tired and cold enough, you'll sleep on just about anything other than the ground which acts like an infinite heat sink […]

Brutality landscaping ensures no one can camp here, and it's very tricky to cross the street as a pedestrian. But hey, extra bike parking :/ #hostilearchitecture

Hostile architecture isn’t just anti-homeless—it pushes unhoused people out of sight and away from services they need.
But it also impacts disabled folks, families, and elders.
My perspective on this issue for Urban Realm.

Regular sitting benches seem to have been replaced by “leaning benches” at the West 4th Street station - presumably to prevent homeless people from sleeping on them.

Seconded. That's #hostilearchitecture no matter who needs to use it.

Wir bekämpfen halt lieber die Obdachlosen statt die Obdachlosigkeit. Da können diese erbärmlichen Sozialdarwinisten von "cd"U und "s"PD sich schön drauf ins Höschen jizzen und angesichts #hostileArchitecture ihre Bestrafungsfantasien befriedigen…

Divider bolted on to a public park bench to keep the homeless from laying down.
