Yes. Our homeless are way more violent and unpredictable than homeless in other parts of the world. Instead of just the town drunk or backpacking hobos, you have crackheads and heroin addicts. They're really fricking annoying and nobody wants them around, especially not on our fricking public benches.

I'm a cripple who falls all the time
let me tell you
it ain't the spike that's doin' the damage
it's the fall and subsequent slam into a slab of concrete
spike don't matter when you're falling or 'avin' an accident senpai
I only used the head as an extreme example. This will still frick up other parts of the body that wouldn't normally hurt that much from a fall and could even stab into you. If that section of wall wasn't so low, it wouldn't be that much of a hazard.
the irony is that its probably cheaper to build a homeless shelter which gets homeless out forever than building this shit on every building where they might go and theyll still be around with nowhere else to go
>the irony is that its probably cheaper to build a homeless shelter which gets homeless out forever than building this shit on every building where they might go and theyll still be around with nowhere else to go
Yeah. Probably is, homeless shelters have rules tho and the real homeless I've met around my city have usually been either addicted to something like opioids, alcohol etc or not mentally fit enough to get the help they need.
Know what always pissed me off? Seeing my council shutting down shit. Shut down schools right, shut down libraries, gonna build a new one it's privately financed and they'll pay for it over 50 fricking years and it'll be garbage, the old building? 8 years to demolish.
Why not put the homeless in there? Why not renovate them into flats/apartments/hostels etc? Always bugged me. I know. There's no money in it and money's what they want but frick 'em.
Rather than making architecture that considers homeless people and is designed to keep them out, maybe they should address the fact there are so many of them in the first place. Im sick of pretending that homelessness is something we just accept as part of modern living, shit did not use to be as bad as it is now within living memory, and Im sick to death of the shitty architecture that is the new cultural aesthetic. Everything is ugly as fricking sin and made to be utilitarian, beauty is treated as unnecessary, and so its being lost, whilst saying "well at least theres no homeless people around".

Yeah. I also read your sentence as a disabled person and substituted the words and I wanna make a point.
These designers, architects and engineers are a bunch of c**ts that know not a fricking thing. When they design for disability, when they design for X and Y they never get it right and they never consider all angles.
I permaseethe because I'm banned from driving. I don't have family so that's it: I either employ a driver, get a taxi or use public transport and public transport isn't suited for disabled people.
Getting to the root cause, thinking about why these things have become problems is important, why is city planning so bad? I don't agree with local government. They serve too short terms to get anything done. They're ineffective at every level and voting will do nothing.
Most homeless actually exit homelessness within a year and use resources. The problem is the degenerate junkies who basically need to be institutionalized to fix them. They're violent, reject help, cause crime, and they're perpetually homeless because they're fricked up beyond mere "help".
>Dude I don't get it, why don't business and home owners want homeless people sleeping right outside their building, scaring off customers and making people feel unsafe?
The people complaining about stuff like this always pretend that having homeless people lurking around a business doesn't drastically affect it. When you have homeless people getting into screaming matches in your parking lot, I'm a lot less likely to ever come shop at your place again
You think a homeless person outside a business is bad? Wait until the area is infested with students. Utterly infested.
There are people that I know who travel 5 miles for groceries at the same shops they have local just to avoid students.
SME's? Yeah they're fricked. Homeless ain't got shit on students.
kek imagine you've hit the rock bottom and looking for a place to lie down just for a moment and you see some gay symbol blocking a perfectly good resting place
>Add rock to stop people from sleeping there >Peoples dogs end up pissing on it making your business smell like piss
Lmao, such a thing is Unchristian/unislamic and they get what they deserve.
Features added to architecture to stop vagrants (not homeless) from using them to laze about or sleep on or near them.
Homeless have shelters, vagrants choose not to use them because it means no drugs or booze and has rules they have to follow.
Whenever bleeding hearts cry about the homeless being 'mistreated' it 99% of the time talking about vagrants who choose to live the way they do and in doing so are a nuisance to literally everyone, even themselves.
It's unfortunate that legitimately homeless people can be impacted by these measures but they have resources available and it's extra impetus to find and utilize them. These measures are absolutely necessary to keeping vagrants away from the general population, no one should be having any pity for them when they choose to live the way they do.
>, no one should be having any pity for them when they choose to live the way they do.
Funny how in countries with a proper healthcare system, social safety net, and basic housing tend to be in short supply of these "vagrants".
probably because they don't have literally all of them on the entire continent walking to california and are instead handled at great expense distributed locally
feels impossible deeesu unless America gets literally blitzed all over. It's simply too big a part of the country's infastructure and culture. Another issue being that many Americans don't think it's a bad thing

that probably has an effect somewhere in the chain but it's drugs and less often mental illness. homeless who are genuinely down on there luck aren't really seen because they're not picking at their sores and shitting in the street.

Pretty sure most of the homeless are whites that have been kicked out of jobs or refused them because immigrants took them and their free housing.
there's two kinds of homeless: short term and long term.
short term are the down on their luck bums, behind on debt and between jobs. some even still working but simply unable to afford rent. generally a few months in a shelter and a microloan or two will get them back on their feet.
long term are the insane and the mentally incompetant, pushed into the streets and onto drugs because mental illness is a you problem, boo.

And that's exactly what happens when you live in a third-world country masquerading as a 1st world country. You let corporations suck the life out of everything while attacking the most vulnerable in your society.
You're right but that isn't true for many other medical issues that homeless people suffer from. That people were made homeless BECAUSE of. Medical expenses is statistically pretty good at causing bankruptcies and homelessness in America.
Yes, but my understanding is people who are homeless for purely financial reasons, e.g. bankruptcy, loss of job, etc. are usually short-term homeless. They often do get back on their feet again and in the meantime they aren't doing things like drugs, sleeping on benches and publicly exposing themselves. We are helping those people already.
The long-term homeless are very often mentally ill and homeless by choice, as much of a choice as it is, and we don't know what the hell to do about that.
The people in charge of public benches aren't remotely connected to the people in charge of policies that would give the homeless a place to shart all over and steal the copper wiring for meth money.
Probably because the population of america is huge and all of the homeless get shipped to a handful of cities filled with the bleeding-heart types that pretend to care about them.

You can blame Ronald Reagan for this. His actions taken against mental health institues federally caused a bunch of psychotics out on the streets, which then became commonplace, and is now the standard. Bring back mental health institutes, put people in there who do not conform, ezpz. They're already a burden on the state, we can at least make sure they're safe and handled somewhat humanely/
This. It was shocking to me when I realized that there's literally nowhere for a severely mentally ill person to be permanently housed in America. It just doesn't exist, the longest programs are about 2 years and they cost a frickton of money that isn't covered by government insurance. These people's only options are to live on the streets or die.
They ~~*republicans*~~ prefer if you die. If your family died in a car accident while you were young and now you have to try and take care of your surviving family on your own, good luck. People will shit on you for things outside of your control because brainwashing in america is "YOU ARE WORTH LESS THAN A HUMAN IF YOU ARE POOR".

And they don't even give them safe places to kill themselves either. If they don't want to house or care for the homeless then the least they can do is offer voluntary euthanasia so those that realize their lot in life and want to end it can do it safely and relatively painlessly without bothering anyone like a traditional suicide would.
>You can blame Ronald Reagan for this
It's supposed to be in the purview of the state. Blame your state government for offloading their responsibilities to the federal government who then decided they don't want them either.
This is the most brainlet take I've ever heard. In the face of a country-wide mental health crisis, the fed should take the responsibility of arming the states with the tools and funding necessary to tackle it. Your simplistic "muh states rights" take is the insipid bullshit that's only designed to burden an already convoluted system in state line drudgery because you and your state aren't smart enough to know not to bite the hand that feeds.

But you are.

You don't just get to declare something is a "crisis" every time you want to be able to have the federal government seize power and exert control over all the states. There's no homeless "crisis".

no moron. the shit youre talking about "the israelites who call themselves israelites but are not" is nujews talking about every other israeli tribe that didnt follow rabbi jesus and his new sect. israelites hating christians is nothing more than a sect war and abusing of useful idiots.
Basically they're making it harder to loiter in public spaces. They assume that a group of hoodlums will want to hang out somewhere shaded that has a chair, so they remove the shade and chairs. The fact that this also prevents non-criminals who may want to loiter in a park to read a book or enjoy the weather or whatever is considered an acceptable loss, probably mostly because society is increasingly slanting towards never leaving your house unless you're going to work.
>probably mostly because society is increasingly slanting towards never leaving your house unless you're going to work
I remember reading about there being a massive decline in mothers taking their kids to the park during the day like they used to. Instead the mothers are just going to a local cafe. Apparently there's all sorts of development ramifications to the kids from this. I don't know.
I see nothing wrong here. The space was underutilized. Nothing would be gained from being before except stepping on dog poop. Now that they paved and fenced in the area it has become a proper public setting. Put back the benches and throw in a playground. That would increase the desirability of the space.
Everyone thinks we have it bad right now, but just imagine the level of control and surveillance that will be prevalent 50 years from now.
And there will still be morons saying, "uh, I don't have anything to hide so I don't see the problem" all of the way to their reeducation camp.
I like how Ganker seethes so hard about trannies that it's immediately what they assume the change is about. Those types of benches are utilized in public spaces to prevent homeless people from passing out on them, so they're considered "anti-homeless technology"
Anti homeless architecture in a videogame does not stop homeless people from sleeping anywhere. If anything it just makes the virtual world more immersive.
the "arm rests" exist only to prevent anyone from sleeping on the bench at night. It also keeps fat people from fitting on it which, net positive, but hostile architecture's singular goal is keeping the homeless out of public spaces.
sure, but building spikes on things just pushes them to shit on something else.
it's also ugly, making public spaces unpleasant for everyone in the general public.
if don't want the homeless sleeping in public then give them the support they need to stop being homeless in the first place.
>if don't want the homeless sleeping in public then give them the support they need to stop being homeless in the first place.

Literally just vote, 80+ million people voted for someone who said he would stop domestic oil production for the most part and he did just that. You don't get the right to complain now if you voted for him. Presidents are decided by states by the way, not country lines so redistricting isn't a thing in that case.

No it's called gerrymandering and should be removed. Rather than having the Supreme Court legitimize it. But you're too obsessed to see the forest through the trees.

That story doesn't immediately end in homelessness. They make every single friend and family member that took them in absolutely tired of their shit first. Wake up every motherfricker you see on a bench and ask how they got there, the answer isn't "I missed some payments and never recovered because uhh I just didn't ok".

How about having to flee your rental because your landlord is a dangerous psychopath? Or being kicked out at 18 when you're starting out with a shitty minimum wage job while building up college debt? Being laid off? Business crashing?
Bad shit happens to good people all the time. Some people have the grit and determination get out of homelessness, others give up and resort to drugs and alcohol. Shit can wear you down extremely quickly.

victorian poor houses theyd have homeless people shelyer by having them stand shoulder to shoulder, should they want to sleep theyd lean on the rope railings staying for the night and were kicked out in the morning, better than the street.

No. Have you seen American city planning? I'm not saying Pittsburgh is too large to walk, I'm saying Pittsburgh is not designed in a way that's friendly to walkers unless you are within a couple blocks of a college.
older cities built before the car, generally in the northeast.
1920s "suburb" designs in particular were very walkable, as they weren't limited to single unit dwellings and had no expectation of two cars and a lawn tractor.
>doesn't give houses for homeless
because drugs > having shelter
people who stay homeless for years are people who get addicted to hard drugs
As I said, therapy could help as well.
Or is it a monetary issue for USA? My 3rd world country considers housing a basic human right, as well as giving free healthcare. My friend was into hard drugs as a teen but got a home and help with the addiction on top of mental health help. Been dry for 11 years and has a job and family.
BUT.
It seems honestly to be a thing USA simply cannot afford. It is understandable that not all countries are as well off as mine, so USA genuinely should ask for help with the problems. No shame in asking help after all.

The Sonic face was a little more expensive, but man it worked. Viral marketing has been around for decades at this point and man are they good at it now. Gamers are extremely easy to manipulate into talking about your game.
Why is it that one uninformed single mother can be offended on someone else's behalf on shitter and creators actually bend over backwards to appease their inane ramblings? This reminds me of when the horse show changed "derpy" because they were misinformed by, again, ONE moron that it was a slur.
If you see mockery of a completely moronic group of woke people as an attack on the left and right wing propaganda you have your own issues to sort out.

This one's funny to me because I'm from Philly, and Love park was a haven for skateboarders, which the city government hated. After Skaters stopped trying to go there it became a Haven for the homeless, and was an area where tons of City sanctioned drug deals would go down
What's even funny is that around this time the X-Games as in Philly, and for a couple of weeks the city became massively pro skateboarding, and immediately clamped back down when the event left
I blame all of them.
Employers are snobby fricks and they don't know what they want.
I worked in gubment supply workers & applicants to employers for 2 years and was pretty fricking good at my job. Before that? 4 years operations & hiring for a retail chain.
Here's something for you. Y'see their 2 years of experience? They do it because they don't wanna train you ye, but they do it because they think you'll put up with their shit.
Here's the real thing: Doesn't work with experienced people who aren't doormats because they just walk right the frick out. They can be literally perfect but a shit job's a shit job.
Employers all over tried this shit and they all try and keep up, there's the meme HR crews who act like they live on linked in who look down on people who are their perfect workers. Hospitality venues are the fricking worst for it and they always treat their employees the worst. The linkedin imposters are the worst because they ask stupid bullshit questions like "where do you see yourself in 5 years" and they won't think that people who worked in an entry level job for 5 years isn't fricking applying for their garbage pay, garbage role.
So no, I don't blame just the employers. I blame the politicians who make workers rights so fricking abysmal that employers started acting this way where they think they can pick and choose. All of 'em are fricking scum.
frick that shit man
I'll never be an employee again
ask me why employees shoudl have rights or not? yeah sorry man, not my problem. taking the homeless stance on this one. I'll just pretend it's not my problem anymore.

No, it doesn't. What kind of whiny b***h are you? What do you think when you see a regular wooden stool?

the british isles have to be the most depressing area on earth, irish and scottish violent moron terrorist, english and wales most cringy soijaks ever, literally the only place diversity will ever improve, ship all the worlds hispanics israelites muslims and blacks to britain and ireland and the world would be a better place
There's an area on shenzhen (china's fourth biggest city) where they spray water in front of building areas to prevent migrant workers from sleeping there.
TIL there are skatestoppers that prevent skateboarders from grinding on ledges or rails. I like how back in the mid-late 2000's skateboarding was seen as a degenerate thing also the culture behind it, it's not as popular now as it once was, but cities still see is as attracting the wrong crowd.
It's funny to grow up and realize whenever you've heard politicians talk about addressing the homeless problem, the problem they're talking about isn't the systems that leave people without homes, it's just having to look at them.
>the problem they're talking about isn't the systems that leave people without homes
The idea most of the homeless are homeless because of evil capitalism or oppressive systems is nonsense. The reason most of the homeless exist is because they were abandoned by their own family for reasons like mental illness and drug addiction.
>the systems that leave people without homes
Long-term homeless people are mentally-ill or addicted to drugs and refuse to participate in society. The only solution would be involuntary institutionalization into mental hospitals or prison. Some people can't be fixed.
They exist, Texas gives free bus tickets to homeless to send them to California. Because Texas' homeless population can be all blamed on someone else huh.
This is why i hate trannies. Their extremely rotted brain is slowly taking over the world and everyone is scared of stopping them.

lol no they don't, they keep giving out more money and the wealth gap keeps growing in Cali. Every time someone asks them in a council meeting about the homeless problem they shut them up very quickly. They're also #1 for wealth inequality in general compared to every other state in the country so yeah you're spewing bullshit you schmuck.
fricking finnish why are you always pulling this shit
fricking first you go off paying your people a wage if they're unemployed or employed so they can live and now

Just build more houses and this will make housing more affordable. It's never going to happen though because conservacucks (and rich libtards) were tricked into believing that house ownership was the be all end all when it comes to investment so whenever any sort of construction project is proposed, you'll have swarms of home owners chimping in the streets because they know the value of their property will plummet and they don't want to lose money.
>Just build more houses and this will make housing more affordable.
They'll just get bought up by a single company and they'll keep the prices nice and high just like before. What they need to do is ban companies and other corporate entities from buying up real estate.
>They'll just get bought up by a single company and they'll keep the prices nice and high just like before.
That's not the way supply and demand works. If they're artificially inflating the prices that's already illegal. Just need to enforce that law, not ban companies from owning property. How are you supposed to run a business when the business can't own property? Where do you put your offices? You want to bring back the oligarchs? That's your plan?
americans can hardly build houses for people who WANT to buy them, and most of them are built like shit, they've moved to building apartments everywhere to make quick cash from people fleeing their no policing shitholes. If we had houses for the "homeless" they'd all be burned to the ground or filled with 100 people/house shooting up drugs, they live only to die but they're far more profitable half alive with just enough hope left that they'll pay into the system, just go watch police bodycam uploads, it's all psychopaths forcing cops to shoot them
Isn't overwatch's world supposed to be authoritarian and oppressive to it's society? Seems to me this is the appropriate scenery for the game's world map.
The Republican answer is always just pretend nothing is happening. Even when everything is burning down around them. Unless a liberal said something, then its time for Civil War LARPing
>The Republican answer is always just pretend nothing is happening
worse, they'll put all their homeless on busses to California and then laugh at liberals for having such a big homeless problem in california.
I don't understand why USA just doesn't give houses for homeless, it has been proved to be more efficient for rehabilitation and getting people back into society. Even in USA when they first ran tests there.
Or is it an economic issue these days? I think USA should ask monetary help from EU to fix infastructure and solve homelessness problem. I heard that public transit is quite horrid there as well
Giving houses would definitely help get more people off the streets, but there's always going to be a population of people who are so self-destructive that they'll destroy anything you give them and wind up back on the streets. Then it's a matter of personal liberty, and unless you want to forcibly imprison these people in a mental asylum then the only other option is to leave them alone.
Maybe giving them therapy as well could help and find the source of the problem.
Giving person a living place should be a starting point tho.
Well if you've ever lived in a really high-value rental market like the bay area, you know how vicious and aggressive NIMBYs are. If you forcibly built housing for homeless I imagine you'd have people bombing it, that's how desperate NIMBYs are to protect their investment.
Point being, yea it'd be good, completely political impossible.
Why don't the optimize the whole architecture instead of keep on adding more lanes and keeping it straight. It's not like they planing on making it a highspeed road like in Germany.
see, houses aren't a commodety, they're an investment.
putting smelly homeless people in the empty house i own in another state would reduce its resale value.
i remember some guy spending a fortune to build mini houses for the homeless, they were basically a movable small room with a solar panel so they can use a little bit of electricity every day, then the city took it all away for some fricking reason.
actually no, I can't find the video here but all the little houses were in great condition and they were used for only a short while before the city took it away.

they've actually decriminalized drug possession in many cities with homeless problems
its a diplomatic out for police not to arrest those "poor" vagrents
if you want to end homelessness you first gotta get rid of drugs
many homeless people won't go into shelters because they won't allow them to use them
Your post is something that shows a huge issue.
Don't want to arrest the homeless for taking drugs?
Where are they getting them. Those police resources could be spent getting drugs OFF the street.
It's a solid plan.
Has any city at the very least tried to just confiscate drugs? It's practically all open use on the street now. Just have a task force drive around and pack that shit in, no arrests. Go hitchhike and OD in the woods if you want to do that shit.
the health complications associated with homelessness cost more than it would to shack them up in cheap affordable housing.
the current system costs strictly more just for the privilege of giving the proles a scary example of what will happen if they lose their job so they don't get too uppity
i am fully willing to believe that even if we gave homeless people housing for free, they would trade it for drugs/alcohol. not saying this happens in other countries but americans would do it for sure.
We give abos free houses here in Aus and they just trash them, use them as a drug dealing base and turn the surrounding neighbourhood into a crime ridden shithole where people are afraid to leave their homes for fear of getting mugged.
Maybe some other EU countries should get help from EU first?
Here is your walkable city bro

What?
>Destroying historic towns to own the leftists
Leftists like to preserve old buildings?
Criticizing stroads, suburbia, and car-centric lifestyle is considered leftist according to Anon.
Same suburb stroad design was built by stripping down old historic towns and buildings.
So it is based to [DO SOMETHING moronic] to make [THE OTHER SIDE] mad.
Identity politics.
There's major obstacles in the US in getting the public to accept that simple fact, though.
1) There is a housing shortage in the US by several million homes, exacerbated by supply chain issues.
2) Zoning laws discourage multi-unit housing structures because those are more affordable, so white people complain about "more traffic" (read: they're scared of black people getting out of the neighborhoods they were trapped in from our old public policies based on racist practices like redlining.
3) There are already people who are homeless or on the verge of homelessness trying to work with the system and years long wait times for Section 8 housing.
4) Working remotely makes white-collar professionals realize they should move away from the expensive city and fan out to less expensive suburbs. These "less expensive" suburbs being in demand will soon make them just as expensive as the city and prices for houses rent/leasing will skyrocket. It's already happening.
5) Naturally, building more homes, especially with the federal government's muscle, will reduce demand for housing, which means the largest wealth generating asset most families own will not appreciate in value as quickly, so these people (read: middle-class whites) will raise hell and do anything to preserve it.
So because housing's already an issue, even for people in the top 30% of income earners, people will balk at the idea of someone that they don't think works as hard as they do getting housing of any kind.

Never argued that. Some people hate car-centric design that FORCES you to use a car. You have to own a xar to get anywhere as suburbs don't have stores etc. nor public transit
That is what the pic made fun of(on top of corn syrup being in every food) that baka design like car-centric urban planning is stupid.

America's obsession with cars and car-related infrastructrure is so blatantly steeped in historical car manufacturing propaganda. It's incredible that people are blind to it yet alone defend it. Without even getting into car insurance and how much of a legalized scam that is.

Just giving all the homeless houses isn't going to solve anything. Who is going to pay the bills? Maintenance? Yard work? What about those who don't want to worry about any of that shit and just want to be homeless? Drug addicts or alcoholics who will gladly sell away their new home for the next high?
Don't worry bro. Years and years I worried about my rent when I was a wagie when I was slightly behind for 2 weeks a year! Then there was my nocturnal activities meaning I made a bit of noise now and then.
I thought I was fricked then I discovered my neighbour was over a year and a half behind on rent and he's threatened to murder our housing officer twice in the last year and he's safe as. Even better. He threatened to murder me, my dog, neighbours dogs, neighbour, beats his kids and he's still fine.
Just get yourself to a country with good social housing and wait for your nearest junkie to die and take their house.
Problem solved.

Honest tip: don't trust anyone you meet on the streets. They are fricking vicious and will rob you for everything you have so they can afford just one more hit of fentanyl. Don't do drugs, figure out what benefits the government is willing to give you, keep your head down and keep to yourself. Get into a shelter if possible. Being homeless is fricking horrible and the people who do it for long periods of time are also fricking horrible.
start working immediately.
any shit job that will have you. maybe even a temp agency if it gets desperate, although ideally an actual jobfinding agency that won't just shop you around willy nilly.
here the YMCA is pretty good about getting you a case worker and some workshops but i don't know what agencies or charities might offer similar in your area.
if you're from a churchgoing family then your church might help, too.
get a gym membership at a cheap 24hr chain for showers.

Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty messed up. I have a speech impediment and I slur words which makes people think I'm drunk. I probably have a lot of undiagnosed mental illnesses and I've been socially isolated for a long time. I'm not even homeless yet and I'm already a homeless weirdo.
that should be simple enough to explain up front.
there are employers who can look past that for sure, and even some who take people like you on as charity cases.
if at some point you can get a diagnosis, that might qualify you for some sort of assistance depending on where you live. worth looking in to when you are able.

I nearly became homeless and am thankful that I was able to move back home, if I wasnt taken in I wouldnt have been able to get back on my feet, and I think this is how lots of people end up homeless, they have no fallback, and people simply dont want them for whatever reason, valid or not.
Get a job, doesnt matter what it is, just take it. If you have no fall back then you are in no position to be picky about how you spend your time.

Unironically circumsision. Not even joking. Physical truama as a baby results in emotional and empathy problems as adults. That's why israelites are fricked in the head too. That intense pain as a baby wasn't good for them
>Physical truama as a baby results in emotional and empathy problems as adults.
I'm sorry. But do my eyes deceive me? Do I see a spitecel critiquing others on a "lack" of empathy?
NIMBYs foggots will b***h endlessly about "hostile architecture" but mention "affordable housing" and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I've been found out!”
We all know what the final solution for NIMBYs is...You just have to be willing to go through with it.
Blizzard sent me an email today begging me to come back to WoW, and like it's almost as they don't realise shit like this in the OP is one of the reasons I'm done with that company. Absolute invertebrates.

REALLY makes you think
I drove by some homeless family who was out on a humid over 100 degree day. Initially I just drove by, but I had a strange urge to help them. So I went and got them some water bottles and gave the guy $100. He was grateful, telling me "god bless you and your family" and kissed the back of my hand. All I could say in the moment was "I hope things get better for you." I really feel bad for them, and I hope he and his kids are okay.
Thank you for reading my blogpost
Effectively dealing with the homeless problem is difficult because shelters can't allow people in that are high or drunk for the safety of the other people there. And most homeless are drug addicts or alcoholics.
The new bench
finally, now the homeless can feel safe while consooming product
thank god, the homeless can now safely sleep in a warzone
finally mei's ass can fit on the bench
one bench for each cheek
ahahahhahahahahah do amerifats really
does the bench in the OP even look remotely normal? That actually looks like lazy dev auto generated shit, the fixd one at least looks like a normal bench.
You're not even mad because this bothers you, you're just mad because someone on the internet told you to be mad, you're just a frickin sheep
cope fatty
back in the day devs used to laugh at these people. what happened
too many morons got access to a podium called social media
Devs are all gays, women and trannies
now the devs are those people
Don't let it worry your head too much. The other side wins plenty of things too, and they are usually not even on social media. Trust me, the shit they win is more impactful to society, by a lot.
>Trust the plan!
Frick you. We want results.
Sycophants got brain washed by their humanities and sociology professorsn then got a job at namebrand company they idolized as a kid, then do everything twitter tells them
So they *can* make changes immediately.
Shit design.
Good design.
okay fatass
What if you want to kick your feet up or spread your legs? Stupid shit like this has no place in a civilized society.
This is SO moronic. It's a warzone. If anything the people should be like "yeah, countries do this, it sucks so we put it in for accuracy". There aren't virtual homeless people or anything

Blizzard Twitter trannies actually did something right
The obese and homeless are affected. I cannot imagine them b***hing about such small not noticable things but they do.
Thanks for reenabling manspreading.
them nuts are definitely going to be thankful for that.
>homeless friendliness of a virtual bench is the biggest problem the first world has to worry about
Surely this means we've solved all the other more important things. Right?
I don't think saying "yo blizz that's a party foul, i thought you were trying to be better?" means you are ignoring other, bigger problems senpai
It's asinine either way. You design benches in games to resemble real benches, not vice-versa.
do you think hostile benches are the only kind of bench that exists?
Who does a bench that homeless can lay on help, that exists purely within a digital realm? It doesn't beget other benches, either in reality or other games. It's literally a prop. That's all.
right, but why choose to use a hostile bench as a prop when you can easily just not, unless you're saying something specific about your game world?
Their world has terrorists everywhere, and shit like robots literally trying to exterminate the humans. They have bigger problems than how comfortable hobos are on a fricking bench.
who in this game world is going out of their way to make life painful for the homeless on top of all those other problems?
City councils sick of squatters ruining all their public spaces, I suppose.
and you don't think the terrorists and the robots are a bigger problem, in that regard?
In this case, the uncomfortable version came first. The burden of proof rests on you that everyone in-universe is a bleeding heart thinking about these worthless topics in the face of terrorism. You felt strongly enough that this had to change right? Where's the argument that your benches are more lore-friendly?
Yes, it does.
No. But it will make people forget your raping parties. Very usefull if you want to rape sombody and party.
Alright, in what way did it offend tr*nnies?
I assume it's about obesity.

storytime? are you american?
people without two arms got pissed at all the arm rest
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_architecture
Ever notice the bed of spikes near buildings? They're meant to prevent the homeless from taking shelter in the rain.
The 'armrests' on benches are intended to keep the homeless from sleeping on them.
>Ever notice the bed of spikes near buildings?
no, because i don't live in a liberal shithole
woah! I had no idea, I'm taking notes of this for future uses.
forget the homeless, this is inconvenient and ugly to everyone
Ah wait, that one isn't hostile architecture. That's a newly planted field of butt-plugs.

Put some effort in ffs, the loser that made this literally spends his life on the internet, do it properly
The heckin based and poggers meth heads and crack fiends wouldn’t be able to OD on it comfortably
Drug addicts who refuse to participate positively in society wouldn't be able to ruin the city by lying on it.
The arm rests make it hard to dilate.
drug addits won't be able to sleep in bench like those so its bad
its a fricking videogame moron, not real life
Lack of social distancing
This is why western gaming is dead.
because you cant have anti-homeless benches?
Because devs are more concerned with fixing unimportant shit instead of making and improving VIDEOGAMES
bro this probably took all of 10 seconds lmao
Spend 10 seconds to stop a stupid internet outrage and get some free internet points? Or spend weeks dealing with shit press?
It's literally free publicity, it'd be moronic not to make such a trivial change if you can get a couple day's worth of internet discussion over it. People keep getting mad about companies doing things that are obviously in their favor.
Because western developers are insane and listen to insane people on Twitter that need every virtual world to be a reflection of their communist utopia.
Because they're focusing on the wrong shit.
realistically theyre anti fat benches. there are far more obeasts than homeless.
If you're homeless, what the frick is the difference between sleeping on a hard bench and a hard floor? Seriously, what's the fricking difference? Sleep on the fricking floor and leave the bench at the bus stop for the people with heavy luggage who need a place to sit
sleeping on an elevated area, helps with bugs and insects bites while sleeping
They're probably better off just wrapping themselves in the blankets they carry around rather than using benches.
Just stop, I bet you sleep on a bed.
I also eat daily, doesn't make my point any less right. Don't want people angry at you for sleeping on the bench that's not meant for you? Don't sleep on it
Who is a public bench meant for friend?
It's meant for the public to sit on. It was never meant for anyone to sleep on it. And if you want to get more specific, benches at bus stops are meant for people who are actually going to ride the bus, not just sleep on the bench and inconvenience the people who are actually using the bus
tax paying citizens
>Don't want people angry at you for sleeping on the bench that's not meant for you? Don't sleep on it
See, when we point at how moronic the left are, they point at comments like this how about moronic the right are.
Somewhere in-between there are intelligent individuals with compelling arguments on both sides but those are overlooked becuase it more fun to point and laugh at the idiot.
>DUUUUUURRRRR
Ganker will never take a fricking shot in the dark
it ALWAYS knows what it's talking about, even when it's saying completely moronic shit
Coldness comes from the ground you dumb fricking shit. Try sleeping outside on the floor and the next night on a bench dipshit.
>BENCH NO GET COLD, ME SLEEP BENCH
>TEMPERATURE AFFECT EVERYTHING EXCEPT BENCH, METAL BENCH SURELY ISN'T COLDER THAN GROUND
moron
I get your point, but jesus man. The bench in the OP is clearly wooden.
Don't try to use logic anon, just stand back and laugh at how much better we are than both sides.
>because you cant have anti-homeless benches?
If you act like it's no big deal...then why change it on the first place? you fricking moron
It's more important to remove them from a videogame than real life, that way *they* feel like heroes

i dont understand why anybody would want anti homeless benches when anti homeless bullets are cheaper and more effective.

blizzard can't decide
wouldn't wanna ruin your headcanon bro
see you in 7 years for OW3 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Do americans really?
Yes. Our homeless are way more violent and unpredictable than homeless in other parts of the world. Instead of just the town drunk or backpacking hobos, you have crackheads and heroin addicts. They're really fricking annoying and nobody wants them around, especially not on our fricking public benches.
Yes? These things shouldn't be normalized.
what the frick is "hostile architecture"
Benches or buildings designed in such a way to stop homeless people sleeping on them.
who is the Black person who forgot one of the spikes
it's FRICKING WITH ME
i was homeless for 5 months back in 2017 and even i think thats moronic
It's literally a criminal offense to be homeless. It's called "vagrancy". That's the world we live in.
In poland some homeless people get arrested on purpose so they have a place to stay in winter.
built for Indian guru
This is a legit danger for everyone. Imagine tripping and getting your head slammed on these things
anon
I'm a cripple who falls all the time
let me tell you
it ain't the spike that's doin' the damage
it's the fall and subsequent slam into a slab of concrete
spike don't matter when you're falling or 'avin' an accident senpai
I only used the head as an extreme example. This will still frick up other parts of the body that wouldn't normally hurt that much from a fall and could even stab into you. If that section of wall wasn't so low, it wouldn't be that much of a hazard.
Imagine even an emergency where someone has a legitimate reason to sit or lay down and the only place to do it is on the fricking ground.
That isn't what's in OP tho.
It usually is more 'armrests' on the bench so you can't lay across it, OP is the usual way those are designed
the irony is that its probably cheaper to build a homeless shelter which gets homeless out forever than building this shit on every building where they might go and theyll still be around with nowhere else to go
cheaper to buy kersone amd matches too
actually, most homeless people hate shelters, because there's some rules they have to follow to be allowed in. An entering and leaving time, etc.
It's never that easy. And spikes are also not the solution.
>And spikes are also not the solution.
To what? Spikes aren't there to end homelessness. They are there to run your business in peace.
not probably, research has been done, is significantly cheaper than just the amount spent on public buildings introducing this type of architecture
>the irony is that its probably cheaper to build a homeless shelter which gets homeless out forever than building this shit on every building where they might go and theyll still be around with nowhere else to go
Yeah. Probably is, homeless shelters have rules tho and the real homeless I've met around my city have usually been either addicted to something like opioids, alcohol etc or not mentally fit enough to get the help they need.
Know what always pissed me off? Seeing my council shutting down shit. Shut down schools right, shut down libraries, gonna build a new one it's privately financed and they'll pay for it over 50 fricking years and it'll be garbage, the old building? 8 years to demolish.
Why not put the homeless in there? Why not renovate them into flats/apartments/hostels etc? Always bugged me. I know. There's no money in it and money's what they want but frick 'em.
>Rather than making architecture that considers homeless people and is designed to keep them out, maybe they should address the fact there are so many of them in the first place. Im sick of pretending that homelessness is something we just accept as part of modern living,
Yeah. I also read your sentence as a disabled person and substituted the words and I wanna make a point.
These designers, architects and engineers are a bunch of c**ts that know not a fricking thing. When they design for disability, when they design for X and Y they never get it right and they never consider all angles.
I permaseethe because I'm banned from driving. I don't have family so that's it: I either employ a driver, get a taxi or use public transport and public transport isn't suited for disabled people.
Getting to the root cause, thinking about why these things have become problems is important, why is city planning so bad? I don't agree with local government. They serve too short terms to get anything done. They're ineffective at every level and voting will do nothing.
Welcome to capitalism.
Probably way cheaper to make onions green as well.
Homeless shelters barely have anyone in them because you're not allowed to be drunk or high when you live there. And guess what hobos want to be 24/7.
Most homeless actually exit homelessness within a year and use resources. The problem is the degenerate junkies who basically need to be institutionalized to fix them. They're violent, reject help, cause crime, and they're perpetually homeless because they're fricked up beyond mere "help".
Yes it's probably cheaper to staff a building and feed and bed a line of mentally ill people every day than it is to buy spikes one time.
Please go plug in a hot irony and steam your face
absolutely dystopian
>that obvious piss stain
>Dude I don't get it, why don't business and home owners want homeless people sleeping right outside their building, scaring off customers and making people feel unsafe?
The people complaining about stuff like this always pretend that having homeless people lurking around a business doesn't drastically affect it. When you have homeless people getting into screaming matches in your parking lot, I'm a lot less likely to ever come shop at your place again
>The people complaining about stuff like this always pretend that having homeless people lurking around a business doesn't drastically affect it.
Realistically they probably have everything delivered to their house and a homeless person is some abstract thing outside their gated community.
You think a homeless person outside a business is bad? Wait until the area is infested with students. Utterly infested.
There are people that I know who travel 5 miles for groceries at the same shops they have local just to avoid students.
SME's? Yeah they're fricked. Homeless ain't got shit on students.
kek imagine you've hit the rock bottom and looking for a place to lie down just for a moment and you see some gay symbol blocking a perfectly good resting place
>Add rock to stop people from sleeping there
>Peoples dogs end up pissing on it making your business smell like piss
Lmao, such a thing is Unchristian/unislamic and they get what they deserve.
Features added to architecture to stop vagrants (not homeless) from using them to laze about or sleep on or near them.
Homeless have shelters, vagrants choose not to use them because it means no drugs or booze and has rules they have to follow.
Whenever bleeding hearts cry about the homeless being 'mistreated' it 99% of the time talking about vagrants who choose to live the way they do and in doing so are a nuisance to literally everyone, even themselves.
It's unfortunate that legitimately homeless people can be impacted by these measures but they have resources available and it's extra impetus to find and utilize them. These measures are absolutely necessary to keeping vagrants away from the general population, no one should be having any pity for them when they choose to live the way they do.
>, no one should be having any pity for them when they choose to live the way they do.
Funny how in countries with a proper healthcare system, social safety net, and basic housing tend to be in short supply of these "vagrants".
probably because they don't have literally all of them on the entire continent walking to california and are instead handled at great expense distributed locally
Yes, car culture is cancer, I know. I'm not sure where to even start with changing it though.
feels impossible deeesu unless America gets literally blitzed all over. It's simply too big a part of the country's infastructure and culture. Another issue being that many Americans don't think it's a bad thing
what the frick is going on in that video
looks like people being shown an escalator for the very first time.
People from Cameroon trying an escalator
what the frick? not even a dog or a monkey would have problems with that, is it nerve gas?
>that weebum
Probably not the same but I know that feel for the first & second one and it's not something I wanna know. idk about the rest
I got a shit tier condition called POTS, or hyperadrenergic POTS which causes me to black out now and then, sometimes when I bend over, get a surge of adrenaline etc and it really isn't great.
There's pretty much nothing I can do for it but take medicine for my blood pressure, hope it helps and take my time but that ain't easy :c
That's one of my biggest fears, my other condition causes me to dislocate my joints and I'm good with that: it's just pain and maybe I fall if it's my knee/ankle etc but POTS is shit. Fainting/falling is no fun at all and it really fricks with your head and knocks your confidence about going outside.
Kinda similar to epilepsy
Mate we have all of those and still a shit ton of homeless camps and bums lounging around. Some people choose to live that way, get over it.
You're so unbelievable moronic of disingenous.
>hostile architecture
>to stop vagrants (not homeless) from using them to laze about or sleep on or near them.
Putting spikes under bridges is pretty clearly targeted towards homeless.
>homeless have shelters
Homeless shelters in any city would be impossibly overcapacity if they had to actually support the entire homeless pop.
Honestly you sound like the typical cringey, uneducated libertarian.
I don't think I'd sperg at the devs over a fricking bench but those anti homeless benches are fricking gay.
What's offensive about the first one? I don't get it
>hostile architecture.
Unless that building has King Kong on it or it's covered in poison, architecture is hardly hostile.
We did it Reddit!
I'm sure all the virtual homeless people will be very thankful for this change
Why, thou?
Mei's feet are starting to hurt from not having anywhere to sit down.
Good. Stop normalizing this shit and stop embracing ugly architecture.
I don't want homeless people sleeping on the floor outside my house.
What need to stop normalizing is developers listening to morons on Twitter.
Rather than making architecture that considers homeless people and is designed to keep them out, maybe they should address the fact there are so many of them in the first place. Im sick of pretending that homelessness is something we just accept as part of modern living, shit did not use to be as bad as it is now within living memory, and Im sick to death of the shitty architecture that is the new cultural aesthetic. Everything is ugly as fricking sin and made to be utilitarian, beauty is treated as unnecessary, and so its being lost, whilst saying "well at least theres no homeless people around".
Most of the homeless suffer from mental illnesses we can't effectively treat yet.
We used to "take care of them" Observe.
Pretty sure most of the homeless are whites that have been kicked out of jobs or refused them because immigrants took them and their free housing.
poor people are legit just ego bruised white people who are literally 2iq but think they're too good to mop floors or wash dishes
that probably has an effect somewhere in the chain but it's drugs and less often mental illness. homeless who are genuinely down on there luck aren't really seen because they're not picking at their sores and shitting in the street.
America isn't the only place with homeless people you dumb bubbled b***h
If it's anywhere in Europe, same reason.
i live in an area where rich immigrants are coming in and leaving all the families that were here for generations in the dirt. yeah you guessed it, B.C Canada
no, the white homeless I've encountered at work are all either methheads or schizos
I only ever encountered one homeless man who wasn't crazy, and he didn't stay homeless for long
there's two kinds of homeless: short term and long term.
short term are the down on their luck bums, behind on debt and between jobs. some even still working but simply unable to afford rent. generally a few months in a shelter and a microloan or two will get them back on their feet.
long term are the insane and the mentally incompetant, pushed into the streets and onto drugs because mental illness is a you problem, boo.
the latter are what sticks in all the pearl clutchers' amygdalas and convinces them the homeless are an inescapable punishment from god for not forcing prayer in schools or something and that every harm reduction program is a israeli trick to defund the police
Most homeless are black men because of course they are. I swear, blacks get the shit end of every statistic.
There's a lot from every race in most major cities, except for Asian. Pretty common to see white and beaner homeless where I live.
And that's exactly what happens when you live in a third-world country masquerading as a 1st world country. You let corporations suck the life out of everything while attacking the most vulnerable in your society.
You're right but that isn't true for many other medical issues that homeless people suffer from. That people were made homeless BECAUSE of. Medical expenses is statistically pretty good at causing bankruptcies and homelessness in America.
Yes, but my understanding is people who are homeless for purely financial reasons, e.g. bankruptcy, loss of job, etc. are usually short-term homeless. They often do get back on their feet again and in the meantime they aren't doing things like drugs, sleeping on benches and publicly exposing themselves. We are helping those people already.
The long-term homeless are very often mentally ill and homeless by choice, as much of a choice as it is, and we don't know what the hell to do about that.
unfortunately making things worse is easier than making things better
something about the way american politics works precludes all possible ways you can address the root causes of problems
The people in charge of public benches aren't remotely connected to the people in charge of policies that would give the homeless a place to shart all over and steal the copper wiring for meth money.
Why is there so many though?
Probably because the population of america is huge and all of the homeless get shipped to a handful of cities filled with the bleeding-heart types that pretend to care about them.
based. nothing better than throwing problems in virtue signalers faces.
well the homeless gotta go somewhere and at least in the cities they can get places since they sure as shit cant drive
the alternative is digging a big hole somewhere and dumping them all in it, then filling the hole with dirt
Put ‘em in a big pot
Or perhaps those handful of cities are so corrupt and unaffordable that their own residents can't afford to live there.
You can blame Ronald Reagan for this. His actions taken against mental health institues federally caused a bunch of psychotics out on the streets, which then became commonplace, and is now the standard. Bring back mental health institutes, put people in there who do not conform, ezpz. They're already a burden on the state, we can at least make sure they're safe and handled somewhat humanely/
This. It was shocking to me when I realized that there's literally nowhere for a severely mentally ill person to be permanently housed in America. It just doesn't exist, the longest programs are about 2 years and they cost a frickton of money that isn't covered by government insurance. These people's only options are to live on the streets or die.
They ~~*republicans*~~ prefer if you die. If your family died in a car accident while you were young and now you have to try and take care of your surviving family on your own, good luck. People will shit on you for things outside of your control because brainwashing in america is "YOU ARE WORTH LESS THAN A HUMAN IF YOU ARE POOR". Frick the republicans, not an ounce of empathy for anyone.
Meanwhile in reality all these homeless are in democrat strongholds like Portland, Philadelphia, San Fran and LA
And yet none of those people are from those cities...and are being bussed from red states...KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND BLAMING THE LEFT. Thats all you homosexuals can do.
And what do those lefty cities do? Build antihomeless measures. Pinko scum.
>And yet none of those people are from those cities...and are being bussed from red states
is that what cnn is telling you
I was homeless and saw it firsthand you moronic brainwashed homosexual.
yes, there are absolutely no homeless in texas, all of them are in california now. it's certainly not due to california's absurdly high cost of living. I live in nyc, I see homeless all the time and it's usually them being priced out
This is a new cope I haven’t seen before
>ALL THE HOMELESS PEOPLE IN OUR SHITHOLE CITY ARE ACTUALLY FROM RED STATES!!!!!
>These people's only options are to live on the streets or die.
And they don't even give them safe places to kill themselves either. If they don't want to house or care for the homeless then the least they can do is offer voluntary euthanasia so those that realize their lot in life and want to end it can do it safely and relatively painlessly without bothering anyone like a traditional suicide would.
>You can blame Ronald Reagan for this
It's supposed to be in the purview of the state. Blame your state government for offloading their responsibilities to the federal government who then decided they don't want them either.
This is the most brainlet take I've ever heard. In the face of a country-wide mental health crisis, the fed should take the responsibility of arming the states with the tools and funding necessary to tackle it. Your simplistic "muh states rights" take is the insipid bullshit that's only designed to burden an already convoluted system in state line drudgery because you and your state aren't smart enough to know not to bite the hand that feeds.
tl;dr dilate troony
>the fed should take the responsibility of arming the states with the tools and funding necessary to tackle it
No. The states aren't helpless babies. They can do things themselves. They have their own institutes. They tax the population to get money. It's not the federal government paying for "hostile architecture". It's the state governments. That's what they're doing with your money instead of helping the homeless.
>tl;dr dilate troony
How ironic since it's always the lefties that want to centralize all power with the federal government and practically eliminate the states like you seem to want to do.
Do you know how I know you're an underage troony? Because you don't understand the point of a federal government. You're too stupid to understand why a group of states needs one, and why they occasionally need to step in and fix problems en masse. See, if you were NOT an underage troony, you would understand the point of a fed in organizing the military, funding major projects across state lines, and moreover, fixing the country when it's in crisis, such as the mental health crisis of the late 1970s that Jimmy Carter pushed legislation through to fix, then Reagan undid. But you are.
So tl;dr dilate you stupid fricking troony homosexual. I hope you get the help you need for the vegana you desire sewn into your body.
You don't just get to declare something is a "crisis" every time you want to be able to have the federal government seize power and exert control over all the states. There's no homeless "crisis". There are just homeless people. A problem existing in all states does not mean the federal government automatically gets to take command and rule with an iron fist. If it did then that just means you may as well get rid of state government and just have a federal government because almost all state problems exist in all states, you fricking moron.
there needs to be collective management of issues which affect multiple states or else the difference in management between states can lead to one state fricking the others over
that's not tyranny, its the actual united part of the name of the country
>there needs to be collective management of issues which affect multiple states
No. There needs to be collective management for issues with affect the nation as an entity and that is what the federal government does. The purpose of the federal government is things like national defense, foreign trade, resolving disputes between states, etc. It is not there to micromanage every fricking thing about an individual state. Doesn't matter if there's a problem that all states face. That doesn't mean it's automatically in the purview of the federal government. That's not the way the system works.
>frick the system
>wait wait not like that!
>>frick the system
YOU are the one saying "Frick the system". You're probably one of those people that whines every single time the Supreme Court strikes down federal mandates on the grounds they don't have the authority to do that shit and unironically proclaims a tyrannical government not being able to do whatever the hell it wants to do is "democracy dying in darkness".
Didn't argue against being a troony OR underage. Can't understand nuance. Can't understand why governments exist at all. So you're definitely one of those troony homosexuals who pretends to be "based" by being a fricking moron about gubernatorial conventions. Like really, you think the government giving money to help with mental health is "ruling with an iron fist". You definitely belong in one of these mental hospitals, first for autogynephilic gender dysphoria, then for being too fricking stupid to live.
The problem is much deeper than that now, though. Severe mental illness is being outright celebrated now, and if you dare call it a blight you'll face the REEing of a thousand virtue-signalers and the legal/financial resources of their handlers.
Maybe from moronic twitter trannies. Most are advocating for better research and safer methods for treating mental issues.

It's an ugly solution, but we're pretty much stuck with it.
I dont know anon, that sounds like trying to deal with the problem after its a problem, why and how are they becoming homeless and why is there so many. I feel like most of these people belong in an asylum or something, not out there fending for themselves and then becoming everyone elses problem.
Something preventative rather than reactionary I feel is needed more.
Get a job
As long as there is a single homeless person in a Western nation, there should be zero immigration. Same goes for unemployment.
frick off chud, countries with white people in them should be open to everyone from everywhere at least until the last pure white keels over extinct
pure white is a lie on the scale of the divine right of kings.
there is more genetic variation among different populations of chimps in africa than there is between groups of people on opposite sides of the planet.
yeah sure thing I just want to get rid of the pale skinned peoples with light eyes and hair, humanity is short and brown skinned with black hair and black eyes, I don't care if you say pasty lanklets are undetectable genetically from actual people they still are disgusting and the world will be better without them.
You have to make being homeless comfortable because you just do ok? The people who live in cities with the most homeless people said so
>Mutts cant afford to provide social services to mentally ill
Holy frick where does all the money go? Mutts are supposed to be ultra rich
It's ponzi all the way down anon. None of it actually exists anywhere but on paper.
The people with the money tend to want to keep the money and use it on themselves. There are alot of rich people in the world and the only time they will spend money on fixing things is by just donating it to a political party, where they then dont fix the problem.
I think it was in the 80s when they shut down asylums
The politicians and major CEOs are rich. Everyone else is dirt poor but one side of the poor is fooled into thinking they're just like the "elites"
People like you got rid of asylums

It's only comfy because it's the only thing you've ever known.
god. the people here are nice and all but i need to fricking get out of here
my hometown is a literal hellscape of these shitty stripmalls that all have the same stores.

I live in Texas, and there is one road where, on one side of the street is 7 loan companies, and on the other side is another 5 loan companies making literally 12 loan companies in the same shopping area. Its fricking crazy.
This reminds me of driving through pic related, but there was literally a god damned cemetery right in the middle of it in plain site from the overpass. And I mean right in the middle.

Nice try, heeb. israelites are called what they are because they refuse to believe in the messiah. Repent.
no moron. the shit youre talking about "the israelites who call themselves israelites but are not" is nujews talking about every other israeli tribe that didnt follow rabbi jesus and his new sect. israelites hating christians is nothing more than a sect war and abusing of useful idiots.

what the frick am i reading, there is no way this is real, it makes 0 sense
you will go to work and then you will go home. every day. for your own safety ofcourse.
Basically they're making it harder to loiter in public spaces. They assume that a group of hoodlums will want to hang out somewhere shaded that has a chair, so they remove the shade and chairs. The fact that this also prevents non-criminals who may want to loiter in a park to read a book or enjoy the weather or whatever is considered an acceptable loss, probably mostly because society is increasingly slanting towards never leaving your house unless you're going to work.
>probably mostly because society is increasingly slanting towards never leaving your house unless you're going to work
I remember reading about there being a massive decline in mothers taking their kids to the park during the day like they used to. Instead the mothers are just going to a local cafe. Apparently there's all sorts of development ramifications to the kids from this. I don't know.
>Problem solving task force
That's a way better name than Social Justice Warriors ngl
I see nothing wrong here. The space was underutilized. Nothing would be gained from being before except stepping on dog poop. Now that they paved and fenced in the area it has become a proper public setting. Put back the benches and throw in a playground. That would increase the desirability of the space.
ameri-bros, i think we won our freedom because the brits are literally too moronic
Everyone thinks we have it bad right now, but just imagine the level of control and surveillance that will be prevalent 50 years from now.
And there will still be morons saying, "uh, I don't have anything to hide so I don't see the problem" all of the way to their reeducation camp.
When you read the word "people" in that sentence, your brain automatically substitutes the accurate word for it.
I like how Ganker seethes so hard about trannies that it's immediately what they assume the change is about. Those types of benches are utilized in public spaces to prevent homeless people from passing out on them, so they're considered "anti-homeless technology"
>t. ranny
They seem just fine with them in real life though
Tells you something about how shitty homeless shelters are if they'd rather sleep on a bench exposed to the elements.
they're not allowed to do drugs in a homeless shelter
You just didn't read the thread, huh?
It is a videogame.
It's not real.
Anti homeless architecture in a videogame does not stop homeless people from sleeping anywhere. If anything it just makes the virtual world more immersive.
where is the essay? how can I learn to write like that to make blizzard remove more stuff from the game?
y'all zoomers really don't know about hostile architecture?
that's a big oof from me senpai no cap
Isn't OP more hostile now that they took away the arm rests?
the "arm rests" exist only to prevent anyone from sleeping on the bench at night. It also keeps fat people from fitting on it which, net positive, but hostile architecture's singular goal is keeping the homeless out of public spaces.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting hobos sleeping and shitting all over your public furniture
sure, but building spikes on things just pushes them to shit on something else.
it's also ugly, making public spaces unpleasant for everyone in the general public.
if don't want the homeless sleeping in public then give them the support they need to stop being homeless in the first place.
>if don't want the homeless sleeping in public then give them the support they need to stop being homeless in the first place.
i would agree with that but at least in my region most homeless are drug addicts.
>if don't want the homeless sleeping in public then give them the support they need to stop being homeless in the first place.
Except most homeless either chose to be homeless or they made bad life choices that "giving them support" isn't going to change them.
nah that's not true. most homeless are the short-term sort, the insane ones only seem bigger because that's what gets in the news and that's what gets kicked out of shelters to go live in camps.
and the insane ones are still in need of care.
>and the insane ones are still in need of care
Frick that. Just off them and rid the world of a problem. You can't help those who refuse to help themselves and choose to be degenerates.
tbh once you get to that point shouldn't we be offing the people who use social media like tik tok, twitch, twitter, Ganker and all that?
just get rid of 'em so we have productive people around.
I don't like homeless people but you can't be serious. Homeless people are homeless usually because they're extremely mentally ill
Another mentally ill freak with a deranged hatred for cars and streets and is autistically obsessed with public transport like trains and buses lmfao.
Did you mean to reply to me or are you completely moronic?
Thanks to Reagan we can't treat them without consent
You realize that most people are one hospital bill, car accident, flooding, or any other accident/expenditure away from bankruptcy and faulting on mortgage or rent, right?
Sounds like 'most people' are incredibly irresponsible
Yes, good... blame the people that have absolutely no power to change the cost of living and wages while politicians suck corporate wiener at your expense.
If someone is going to go from around middle class to on the street sucking dick for quarters then yes, they are incredibly irresponsible.
Damn, they should have like... just had more money bro... Why didn't they think of that? Kek

What the frick. Is the KKK back to threatening blacks like they did in the 1860s?
>voter suppression
Not even a real term.
>false election
???
Literally just vote, 80+ million people voted for someone who said he would stop domestic oil production for the most part and he did just that. You don't get the right to complain now if you voted for him. Presidents are decided by states by the way, not country lines so redistricting isn't a thing in that case.
>Let me guess, when your favorite guys do it it's called redistricting but when the people you don't like do it's "gerrymandering"?
No it's called gerrymandering and should be removed. Rather than having the Supreme Court legitimize it. But you're too obsessed to see the forest through the trees.
Then stop voting for the guys who do it, problem solved.
That means you're voting for the same corrupt pieces of garbage, likely from the same party or even family members of the other pieces of trash who preceded them in some cases.
Wait for it senpai:
There's 4 people elected each cycle for the ward.
That's right: that's 20 people and when you count in the 2 who stepped down to scandals it's 22.
Now. Maybe, just maybe. Hear me out here. As someone who thinks voting matters, and says nothing changes. Perhaps, maybe just perhaps bro: the problem isn't with the vote.

That story doesn't immediately end in homelessness. They make every single friend and family member that took them in absolutely tired of their shit first. Wake up every motherfricker you see on a bench and ask how they got there, the answer isn't "I missed some payments and never recovered because uhh I just didn't ok".
Delusional trust fund baby with zero life experience.
How about having to flee your rental because your landlord is a dangerous psychopath? Or being kicked out at 18 when you're starting out with a shitty minimum wage job while building up college debt? Being laid off? Business crashing?
Bad shit happens to good people all the time. Some people have the grit and determination get out of homelessness, others give up and resort to drugs and alcohol. Shit can wear you down extremely quickly.
>How about having to flee your rental because your landlord is a dangerous psychopath?

What is this pic bout?
victorian poor houses theyd have homeless people shelyer by having them stand shoulder to shoulder, should they want to sleep theyd lean on the rope railings staying for the night and were kicked out in the morning, better than the street.

I don't want to sit on a bench where some crackhead subhuman vermin who doesn't bathe has slept.
Instead you'll sit on a bench where some crackhead subhuman vermin placed their scabies infested mattress on top off
Lol what? That doesn't even make sense. Why would he place his mattress up there, and not on the ground?
Because it's not on the ground. You guys really think homeless don't just pile blankets or a mattress on these "hostile" benches?
That doesn't sound comfortable. Sleeping on a mattress on the ground is not bad
Ok feel free to tell all those homeless people who do just that

Are any American cities actually walkable? Bonus points for a nice aesthetic.
Pittsburgh for sure is not walkable.
Are you morbidly orbese?
No. Have you seen American city planning? I'm not saying Pittsburgh is too large to walk, I'm saying Pittsburgh is not designed in a way that's friendly to walkers unless you are within a couple blocks of a college.
older cities built before the car, generally in the northeast.
1920s "suburb" designs in particular were very walkable, as they weren't limited to single unit dwellings and had no expectation of two cars and a lawn tractor.
Here is your walkable city bro
As I said, therapy could help as well.
Or is it a monetary issue for USA? My 3rd world country considers housing a basic human right, as well as giving free healthcare. My friend was into hard drugs as a teen but got a home and help with the addiction on top of mental health help. Been dry for 11 years and has a job and family.
BUT.
It seems honestly to be a thing USA simply cannot afford. It is understandable that not all countries are as well off as mine, so USA genuinely should ask for help with the problems. No shame in asking help after all.

To be fair, this is actually better than most shitty censorship, because Overwatch's setting is supposed to be optimistic

They get you guys hook line and sinker every time. Just like the fake Sonic face. Nobody would give a shit about a Sonic movie, but holy frick did everyone talk and share about it like crazy from the "outrage" over his face. The Sonic face was a little more expensive, but man it worked. Viral marketing has been around for decades at this point and man are they good at it now. Gamers are extremely easy to manipulate into talking about your game.
Anon that wasn't a stunt, execs are just that stupid.
Game has racist architecture
Why is it that one uninformed single mother can be offended on someone else's behalf on shitter and creators actually bend over backwards to appease their inane ramblings? This reminds me of when the horse show changed "derpy" because they were misinformed by, again, ONE moron that it was a slur.

This goes waaay over your head, as is the goal of the propaganda.

We all got our own issues. The problem here is you are letting republican policies and propaganda drive you towards hating everyone, especially the poor. Won't be long before we're all driven into poverty and forced into being labelled as criminals just to survive.
>everyone shifting focus on fats
The term "hostile architecture" quite literally means anti-homeless. This shit has nothing to do with fatties.
Except I'm more willing to believe an Overwatch player is an obese person personally offended by the "undersized" allocated seating space by that bench and willing to co-opt the phrase "hostile architecture" to describe it than I am willing to believe they give a shit about the homeless.
>nothing

Some guy on the train man spreaded me out of the my chair seat and I realised that day women might have a point.
the real point is that some people are entitled homosexuals regardless of their genitalia. only a femoid could come to a conclusion other than that.
Wait until you're disabled and it's some person 10-20 years older than you in the handicapped spot and they WILL NOT move but will act very offended.

I work for a place that sells pry-bars and crowbars, and I get them at-cost. Almost makes me want to buy a bunch and hand em out.
You can’t be this moronic right? You think a bunch of skeezy looking punks are gonna be walking around with crowbars and risk getting instantly stopped by police?
I guess backpacks don't exist. You know, that thing teenagers usually wear when they go to school
>you vill not relax in the restroom!

This one's funny to me because I'm from Philly, and Love park was a haven for skateboarders, which the city government hated. After Skaters stopped trying to go there it became a Haven for the homeless, and was an area where tons of City sanctioned drug deals would go down
The police funding must've got an erection.
What's even funny is that around this time the X-Games as in Philly, and for a couple of weeks the city became massively pro skateboarding, and immediately clamped back down when the event left
>hostile architecture
The rope isn’t going to do the job, Hans. Get the flamethrower.
I cant believe how republicans have fooled everyone into blaming the homeless instead of blaming the politicians and businessmen who got us here.
I blame the employers who don't want to train new people and ask for 2 years of experience in picking stuff up and putting them down.
I blame all of them.
Employers are snobby fricks and they don't know what they want.
I worked in gubment supply workers & applicants to employers for 2 years and was pretty fricking good at my job. Before that? 4 years operations & hiring for a retail chain.
Here's something for you. Y'see their 2 years of experience? They do it because they don't wanna train you ye, but they do it because they think you'll put up with their shit.
Here's the real thing: Doesn't work with experienced people who aren't doormats because they just walk right the frick out. They can be literally perfect but a shit job's a shit job.
Employers all over tried this shit and they all try and keep up, there's the meme HR crews who act like they live on linked in who look down on people who are their perfect workers. Hospitality venues are the fricking worst for it and they always treat their employees the worst. The linkedin imposters are the worst because they ask stupid bullshit questions like "where do you see yourself in 5 years" and they won't think that people who worked in an entry level job for 5 years isn't fricking applying for their garbage pay, garbage role.
So no, I don't blame just the employers. I blame the politicians who make workers rights so fricking abysmal that employers started acting this way where they think they can pick and choose. All of 'em are fricking scum.
Employees should have no rights, prove me wrong
>hehe mom look, I made fun of the wagie!
>The Fed rationalizes that every citizen works for them in some capacity
>rights stolen from entire nation
Good job, moron
without real workers to actually generate value, the managerial caste has nothing to manage
frick that shit man
I'll never be an employee again
ask me why employees shoudl have rights or not? yeah sorry man, not my problem. taking the homeless stance on this one. I'll just pretend it's not my problem anymore.
The cities with the highest inequality and biggest homeless problems are generally run by democrats.

How long would it take before they start implementing anti-homeless features of their own
The left is all "arm the homeless" but then when they get it they're all "no not those arms". Make up your minds
Thats because the left has a different problem. Tons of corporate bootlickers mixed in with the actual liberals.
This is a "bench" in London called a Camden Bench, it's suppose to prevent sleeping, graffiti, and basically everything.
Looks uncomfortable as frick to even sit on.
It feels fine actually. Maybe if you're a fatass it might feel ridig but the shape and hardness of it makes it good for a quick sit
What makes it ungrafittable?
Generally for graffiti you want a big flat surface so putting a bunch of corners everywhere fricks you up
What? Some kid tagging their name on it takes less than half of the space that bench
does london not have taggers?
they'll scribble their handle on any surface, any size.
>Looks uncomfortable as frick to even sit on.
No, it doesn't. What kind of whiny b***h are you? What do you think when you see a regular wooden stool? Do you throw your arms to the sky and bemoan "hostile architecture" because anything less than a recliner is unacceptable or would you do what any normal person would do and just sit on it and be fine?

There's an area on shenzhen (china's fourth biggest city) where they spray water in front of building areas to prevent migrant workers from sleeping there.

TIL there are skatestoppers that prevent skateboarders from grinding on ledges or rails. I like how back in the mid-late 2000's skateboarding was seen as a degenerate thing also the culture behind it, it's not as popular now as it once was, but cities still see is as attracting the wrong crowd.
It's funny to grow up and realize whenever you've heard politicians talk about addressing the homeless problem, the problem they're talking about isn't the systems that leave people without homes, it's just having to look at them.
>the problem they're talking about isn't the systems that leave people without homes
The idea most of the homeless are homeless because of evil capitalism or oppressive systems is nonsense. The reason most of the homeless exist is because they were abandoned by their own family for reasons like mental illness and drug addiction.
>the systems that leave people without homes
Long-term homeless people are mentally-ill or addicted to drugs and refuse to participate in society. The only solution would be involuntary institutionalization into mental hospitals or prison. Some people can't be fixed.
Is no one going to point out the reason why there are homeless in the first place is because they're lazy?
*because they’re drug addicts
ftfy
I have never seen a bench like this. I also don't live in a liberal shithole where the homeless are a problem.
They exist, Texas gives free bus tickets to homeless to send them to California. Because Texas' homeless population can be all blamed on someone else huh.
This is why i hate trannies. Their extremely rotted brain is slowly taking over the world and everyone is scared of stopping them.
The future of Idiocracy is slowly but surely becoming real
cause hostile architecture is bullshit
Ok but how do this solve the homeless problem?
The left says create more social programs to assist. The right says....uhh...well nothing.
>The left says create more social programs to assist.
lol no they don't, they keep giving out more money and the wealth gap keeps growing in Cali. Every time someone asks them in a council meeting about the homeless problem they shut them up very quickly. They're also #1 for wealth inequality in general compared to every other state in the country so yeah you're spewing bullshit you schmuck.
>make programs
>politicians and corporations pocket the money
Good idea
finland just put them in houses and it worked
fricking finnish why are you always pulling this shit
fricking first you go off paying your people a wage if they're unemployed or employed so they can live and now
you're putting them in homes instead of the snow?
you heartless bar stewards
you are verri verri mean people 🙁
Just build more houses and this will make housing more affordable. It's never going to happen though because conservacucks (and rich libtards) were tricked into believing that house ownership was the be all end all when it comes to investment so whenever any sort of construction project is proposed, you'll have swarms of home owners chimping in the streets because they know the value of their property will plummet and they don't want to lose money.
>Just build more houses and this will make housing more affordable.
They'll just get bought up by a single company and they'll keep the prices nice and high just like before. What they need to do is ban companies and other corporate entities from buying up real estate.
>They'll just get bought up by a single company and they'll keep the prices nice and high just like before.
That's not the way supply and demand works. If they're artificially inflating the prices that's already illegal. Just need to enforce that law, not ban companies from owning property. How are you supposed to run a business when the business can't own property? Where do you put your offices? You want to bring back the oligarchs? That's your plan?
americans can hardly build houses for people who WANT to buy them, and most of them are built like shit, they've moved to building apartments everywhere to make quick cash from people fleeing their no policing shitholes. If we had houses for the "homeless" they'd all be burned to the ground or filled with 100 people/house shooting up drugs, they live only to die but they're far more profitable half alive with just enough hope left that they'll pay into the system, just go watch police bodycam uploads, it's all psychopaths forcing cops to shoot them
send them to africa
you know i remember south park doing something like this years ago as a joke i dont think they meant anyone to take it seriously
Isn't overwatch's world supposed to be authoritarian and oppressive to it's society? Seems to me this is the appropriate scenery for the game's world map.
Is it? I thought it was a fairly normal world outside of the omnic crisis and Talon doing evil shit.
The Republican answer is always just pretend nothing is happening. Even when everything is burning down around them. Unless a liberal said something, then its time for Civil War LARPing
>The Republican answer is always just pretend nothing is happening
worse, they'll put all their homeless on busses to California and then laugh at liberals for having such a big homeless problem in california.
Man Americans absolutely seethe about homeless chads to the point they will actively spite their own existence.
I don't understand why USA just doesn't give houses for homeless, it has been proved to be more efficient for rehabilitation and getting people back into society. Even in USA when they first ran tests there.
Or is it an economic issue these days? I think USA should ask monetary help from EU to fix infastructure and solve homelessness problem. I heard that public transit is quite horrid there as well
Needs more lanes
I got you bro
Maybe giving them therapy as well could help and find the source of the problem.
Giving person a living place should be a starting point tho.
Well if you've ever lived in a really high-value rental market like the bay area, you know how vicious and aggressive NIMBYs are. If you forcibly built housing for homeless I imagine you'd have people bombing it, that's how desperate NIMBYs are to protect their investment.
Point being, yea it'd be good, completely political impossible.
Thanks bro was gonna go looney without it
Why don't the optimize the whole architecture instead of keep on adding more lanes and keeping it straight. It's not like they planing on making it a highspeed road like in Germany.
see, houses aren't a commodety, they're an investment.
putting smelly homeless people in the empty house i own in another state would reduce its resale value.
i remember some guy spending a fortune to build mini houses for the homeless, they were basically a movable small room with a solar panel so they can use a little bit of electricity every day, then the city took it all away for some fricking reason.
probably because the homeless people ruined it
actually no, I can't find the video here but all the little houses were in great condition and they were used for only a short while before the city took it away.
Soul extraction process: Complete
Giving houses would definitely help get more people off the streets, but there's always going to be a population of people who are so self-destructive that they'll destroy anything you give them and wind up back on the streets. Then it's a matter of personal liberty, and unless you want to forcibly imprison these people in a mental asylum then the only other option is to leave them alone.
they've actually decriminalized drug possession in many cities with homeless problems
its a diplomatic out for police not to arrest those "poor" vagrents
if you want to end homelessness you first gotta get rid of drugs
many homeless people won't go into shelters because they won't allow them to use them
Your post is something that shows a huge issue.
Don't want to arrest the homeless for taking drugs?
Where are they getting them. Those police resources could be spent getting drugs OFF the street.
It's a solid plan.
but sadly it won't work ;_;
no arrest homeless people for taking drugs
Has any city at the very least tried to just confiscate drugs? It's practically all open use on the street now. Just have a task force drive around and pack that shit in, no arrests. Go hitchhike and OD in the woods if you want to do that shit.
I love living in seattle and seeing some homeless frick smoke crack on the sidewalk first thing in the morning
Everyone supports low income housing until it comes to their neighborhood
>doesn't give houses for homeless
because drugs > having shelter
people who stay homeless for years are people who get addicted to hard drugs
>why doesn't america just give shit away for free
the health complications associated with homelessness cost more than it would to shack them up in cheap affordable housing.
the current system costs strictly more just for the privilege of giving the proles a scary example of what will happen if they lose their job so they don't get too uppity
i am fully willing to believe that even if we gave homeless people housing for free, they would trade it for drugs/alcohol. not saying this happens in other countries but americans would do it for sure.
They tried that already.
We give abos free houses here in Aus and they just trash them, use them as a drug dealing base and turn the surrounding neighbourhood into a crime ridden shithole where people are afraid to leave their homes for fear of getting mugged.
>abos
Nobody else deals with those, and you know it. Injuns get free land here to frick off to.
Maybe some other EU countries should get help from EU first?

Criticizing stroads, suburbia, and car-centric lifestyle is considered leftist according to Anon.
Same suburb stroad design was built by stripping down old historic towns and buildings.

It is silly

I have no idea what you're trying to say. I have never met anyone left-wing who hates cars as a concept personally, or a right-winger for that matter.
>I have never met anyone left-wing who hates cars as a concept personally, or a right-winger for that matter.
Never argued that. Some people hate car-centric design that FORCES you to use a car. You have to own a xar to get anywhere as suburbs don't have stores etc. nor public transit
That is what the pic made fun of(on top of corn syrup being in every food) that baka design like car-centric urban planning is stupid.
Anon said it was a leftist meme.
Fun fun
Okay groomer
car centric design is going to massively pay off when self driving is perfected. I expect that tide to lift all boats but not equally

I would hate having to ride a bike everywhere, my balance is crap because of ear issues, fear of seizures due to epilepsy would probably give me anxiety attacks in addition to the ones I get in cars sometimes as is. At least my car has an a/c and stereo to help relax me.
America's obsession with cars and car-related infrastructrure is so blatantly steeped in historical car manufacturing propaganda. It's incredible that people are blind to it yet alone defend it. Without even getting into car insurance and how much of a legalized scam that is.
>Destroying historic towns to own the leftists
Leftists like to preserve old buildings?
>Ethnically homogeneous population gives homes to homeless
>Still lots of homeless
There's major obstacles in the US in getting the public to accept that simple fact, though.
1) There is a housing shortage in the US by several million homes, exacerbated by supply chain issues.
2) Zoning laws discourage multi-unit housing structures because those are more affordable, so white people complain about "more traffic" (read: they're scared of black people getting out of the neighborhoods they were trapped in from our old public policies based on racist practices like redlining.
3) There are already people who are homeless or on the verge of homelessness trying to work with the system and years long wait times for Section 8 housing.
4) Working remotely makes white-collar professionals realize they should move away from the expensive city and fan out to less expensive suburbs. These "less expensive" suburbs being in demand will soon make them just as expensive as the city and prices for houses rent/leasing will skyrocket. It's already happening.
5) Naturally, building more homes, especially with the federal government's muscle, will reduce demand for housing, which means the largest wealth generating asset most families own will not appreciate in value as quickly, so these people (read: middle-class whites) will raise hell and do anything to preserve it.
So because housing's already an issue, even for people in the top 30% of income earners, people will balk at the idea of someone that they don't think works as hard as they do getting housing of any kind.
Don't forget market speculation and also renovating existing homes to make bigger ones for people with bigger wallets
Just giving all the homeless houses isn't going to solve anything. Who is going to pay the bills? Maintenance? Yard work? What about those who don't want to worry about any of that shit and just want to be homeless? Drug addicts or alcoholics who will gladly sell away their new home for the next high?
It's Justin's clone, obviously. Since he was produced in America he has de facto natural citizenship

I'm going to be joining the homeless. I'm a NEET and I'm getting kicked out and I'm too much of a weirdo to be a functional person.
First step is to immediately locate the nearest meth dealer
Better hope you arent in a red state. You'll be dead in a week.
Don't worry bro. Years and years I worried about my rent when I was a wagie when I was slightly behind for 2 weeks a year! Then there was my nocturnal activities meaning I made a bit of noise now and then.
I thought I was fricked then I discovered my neighbour was over a year and a half behind on rent and he's threatened to murder our housing officer twice in the last year and he's safe as. Even better. He threatened to murder me, my dog, neighbours dogs, neighbour, beats his kids and he's still fine.
Just get yourself to a country with good social housing and wait for your nearest junkie to die and take their house.
Problem solved.
EZ as m8
neet yourself away and claim some bennies, sorted for life
Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty messed up. I have a speech impediment and I slur words which makes people think I'm drunk. I probably have a lot of undiagnosed mental illnesses and I've been socially isolated for a long time. I'm not even homeless yet and I'm already a homeless weirdo.
that should be simple enough to explain up front.
there are employers who can look past that for sure, and even some who take people like you on as charity cases.
if at some point you can get a diagnosis, that might qualify you for some sort of assistance depending on where you live. worth looking in to when you are able.
Honest tip: don't trust anyone you meet on the streets. They are fricking vicious and will rob you for everything you have so they can afford just one more hit of fentanyl. Don't do drugs, figure out what benefits the government is willing to give you, keep your head down and keep to yourself. Get into a shelter if possible. Being homeless is fricking horrible and the people who do it for long periods of time are also fricking horrible.
start working immediately.
any shit job that will have you. maybe even a temp agency if it gets desperate, although ideally an actual jobfinding agency that won't just shop you around willy nilly.
here the YMCA is pretty good about getting you a case worker and some workshops but i don't know what agencies or charities might offer similar in your area.
if you're from a churchgoing family then your church might help, too.
get a gym membership at a cheap 24hr chain for showers.
get a job NOW
doesn't matter how shit pay it is, how physically demanding it is, doesn't matter if you're a worker monkey. the worst thing you could ever do to your life is be homeless
take what you can get
I nearly became homeless and am thankful that I was able to move back home, if I wasnt taken in I wouldnt have been able to get back on my feet, and I think this is how lots of people end up homeless, they have no fallback, and people simply dont want them for whatever reason, valid or not.
Get a job, doesnt matter what it is, just take it. If you have no fall back then you are in no position to be picky about how you spend your time.
wouldn't it be easier to find a job?

So why do Americans lack empathy?
They have to actually deal with homeless people in person.
Unironically circumsision. Not even joking. Physical truama as a baby results in emotional and empathy problems as adults. That's why israelites are fricked in the head too. That intense pain as a baby wasn't good for them
I'm uncut, I'm still a sociopath. Maybe there's correlation, but it's definitely not causation.
>I'm uncut, I'm still a sociopath. Maybe there's correlation, but it's definitely not causation.
nice for you to post a picture of the cheesy freaks against circumcision
got any evidence that trauma at an age that young actually has an impact on their later life?
I do but I'm not gonna comb my image folder for some random dickhead in a bench thread
ah so you made it up, got it
My dick was mutilated and I'm still empathetic. Circumcision is moronic but so are you
If you have a problem discussing empathy then why did you bring it up?

I'm sorry. But do my eyes deceive me? Do I see a spitecel critiquing others on a "lack" of empathy?

Probably the same reason that non-Americans lack it even more.
Not a good business model
Wouldn't it make sense for the benches in Overwatch to be like that because it's a dystopia?

REALLY makes you think
I drove by some homeless family who was out on a humid over 100 degree day. Initially I just drove by, but I had a strange urge to help them. So I went and got them some water bottles and gave the guy $100. He was grateful, telling me "god bless you and your family" and kissed the back of my hand. All I could say in the moment was "I hope things get better for you." I really feel bad for them, and I hope he and his kids are okay.
Thank you for reading my blogpost
I honestly don't know. I just felt really bad.
not him but I gave a homeless druggie fifty dollars yesterday, felt good man.
I hate communists so much it's unreal
Effectively dealing with the homeless problem is difficult because shelters can't allow people in that are high or drunk for the safety of the other people there. And most homeless are drug addicts or alcoholics.
ITT: a bunch of useless NEETs that contribute nothing to society thinking they're above hobos
I'm not an alcoholic drug addict that harasses people for money to fuel my booze and drug addiction so I am better than nobos by default.
NEETs are unrironically just hobos being taken care of by their mommies
You know what's one of the worst things about homeless people? They ruined libraries
better hobochads than incels and autists reading comic books or tranime manga and creeping everyone out.
Trying a little too hard, bud.
Liberals stooped building affordable housing because they think that walls are racists.
Is it true that Americans piss themselves in fear at having to walk for 10 minutes?
