Honest question: WTF is this?
Anti homeless / hostile architecture. Prevents people sitting or sleeping there.
This blows my naive European mind. To make an area deliberately unusable for anything by anyone is wild. At least those hostile benches can be sat on.
I was surprised to find the new trainstation in a Finnish town has benches that prevent lying down on them. Apparently someone’s been taking notes here 😕
It’s to ensure homeless people can’t sit down somewhere.
