Fuck hostile architecture, I want unhostile architecture. I want benches to be designed to be as easy as possible to sleep on. I want little places for pigeons to nest to be purposefully put on buildings. I want people designing public spaces to think about what they'd be like to skateboard on. I want "Please loiter" signs. I want people to be kind. I want...

I went to NYC over Christmas break and the one thing I felt horrible about was the fact that there was nowhere for my mother, who has bad knees, to sit. Nowhere. Not a single bench. She was able to sit in the restaurant, in the theater, and on the train. Those were the only fucking seats in the whole fucking city.
I hate anti-homeless efforts. I hate the elimination of public spaces. There were millions of people walking around NYC that week and not a single one of them was able to sit.

As cute as those benches are that has a statue sitting next to you, understand those are a form of Hostile Architecture made to negatively impact the lives of the homeless.

Id rather glowing pathways with stones in them lined with herbs and food
Id rather cool and comfy bus stations with swings built to be sat in
Id rather color and glowing lights!

my political stance is "let people sit" and I'm not remotely kidding

Oh my gods.
Cities overtrim trees to prevent unhoused people from escaping the heat?
I mean, I always wondered why the trees were trimmed like that as it looks fucking dumb but that's fucked up.

I think this video makes really great points and is such an easy way to introduce hostile architecture to people before we drag them down the socialism path

"My uncle says the architects got rid of the front porches because they didn't look well.
But my uncle says that was merely rationalizing it; the real reason, hidden underneath, might be they didn't want people sitting like that, doing nothing, rocking, talking; that was the wrong kind of social life.
People talked too much. And they had time to think. So they ran off with the porches. And the gardens, too.
Not many gardens any more to sit around in. And look at the furniture. No rocking chairs any more. They're too comfortable. Get people up and running around"
-Ray Bradbury

Something I don't see mentioned a lot is how those hostile architecture benches are often fatphoboc as well.
Fat people deserve to sit. Homeless people deserve to sit. Everyone deserves a sit in public.
