| Toronto. These devices (left) keep homeless people from sleeping on the grates to avoid freezing to death (right). |
 |
| Los Angeles. The city calls these “arm-rests”. More homeless people die from hypothermia in Los Angeles than in New York or San Francisco. |
 |
| London anti-homeless spikes. |
 |
| Paris. Metal poles to keep homeless people from seeking shelter. People become hackers out of necessity. |
 |

 |
| Seattle. An actual homeless person (right) sleeps on the ground because the only bench is occupied by a *sculpture* of a homeless person. (left) Another Seattle sculpture called “Homeless Jesus”, which is … its own |

| Boston/Cambridge. These aren’t “arm rests”. - Boston/Dorchester. Slanted benches in the @MBTA Fields Corner station. #HostileArchitecture that is also impossible for disabled people to use. |
 |

 |
| Tokyo. This tubular bench (right) gets burning hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. Short benches (left) are also common. |
