News & Blogs Homeless FEMA camps

Haha, good ol' FEMA camp rumor.

With benches in just about every major city in the US having been removed and altered, the only thing that surprises me about the bench cages is that people are surprised. Do people not notice that modern city benches aren't long enough to lay on, and have obstacles to prevent it? Those aren't arm rests, they're anti-homeless devices. Designing your city to be physically undesirable to the homeless has been going on for decades now.

It is quite sad that humans look down on other humans because they are seemingly unfortunate... but to go the lengths of making it uncomfortable or impossible to sleep off the ground is cruel and unnessesary! Why not use the money it took to replace benches instead to help those who are in need of help..
