Worse than you?

 Yeah, actually.

some vents in nyc:

reminds me of a quote from Morrowind: "Your wounds are disgusting. Go away." kind of bummed there won't be any atonal music playing at train stations, though

This is hilarious 🤣 I can’t believe people hate people this much. They’re just trying to survive and hang out. I can kind of see the youth issue because they destroy things and steal and everything terrible, but homeless people are literally just trying to stay warm and out of the way.

 JUST LET PEOPLE REST 

Yeah... this isn't too different from how some businesses keep birds off of their property. 

I wonder how this would look to future historians that dig it up? 

it's all some dystopian 1984 shit lol

"The sound of a strange and confusing music—designed to be unpleasant—filled the train station, and made both young child and grown man visibly agitated, in a hurry to be on their way. 'I'd be better off sleeping out in the cold,' Eric thought, as he took the nearest exit outside to a snowy and pedestrian-filled city sidewalk. Looking for a vent for some warmth, he only found mangled grates of metal pushing out heat. Their ridges and contours, sadistic in design, would surely punish anyone seeking respite from the cold; one could neither stand, nor lay, nor sit upon these metallic heaps. He would have to go to jail in order to have a warm enough place to sleep tonight. It sounded bad to him at first, but then he realized, at least a meal would be assured as well..."

 Goddamn. 

Is it bad that I'd be a little more okay with Hostile Architecture if it didn't look so bad? The aesthetic itself is so blocky and spiky that it ruins the scenery, which is supposed to be the point of making it harder for homelessness to sleep on the property. 






Seriously, those are the least unattractive one I've found so far. Also as a matter of form and function, a lot of these designs were clearly not made with fatter people in mind. 




A lot of how people overtime feel about where they are is a reflection of the aesthetic of the place, and this aesthetic is just going to push people to feel more claustrophobic or otherwise less at ease from that much less of a smooth look to the place. 

I was more recently turned on to a channel called Not Just Bikes, which has had me questioning a lot more over how the immediate appearance of a place overtime could affect it's surrounding people, almost like emotional radiation from things like shapes and color. It's legitimately a thing. 

I was always told, growing up, that the suburbs (of Canada) are a good place to raise children. But I've come to appreciate the importance of independence for the a child's development, something that's nearly impossible in today's car-dependent suburbs. It was pretty clear that suburbia was not right for our kids, so we moved to the Netherlands instead.

How they handle their trash (3 min) is also pretty fucking nice, plus the sidewalk logic's superior to the US's car dependent designs (4 min).
