Your "thin" sidewalk pictures are incredibly dishonest. You focus on the part that isn't even a sidewalk even though there's a huge sidewalk right beside it.
That whole entry sounds fake to me. I really think they just read this stuff on some random website and didn't look into it at all. Half the entries are about benches and the spikes/anti-skater stuff is incredibly obvious.
And by thin - did they actually mean narrow? A thin sidewalk means that there is very little material between your foot and the ground... I don't see how that effects anything, other than making them less sturdy.
How to spot a fake security camera: ° Throw rock at security camera. ° If store managers, security guards, or police start furiously walking towards you, its real.
Don't be gullible. Every city has huge numbers of homeless shelters, soup kitchens and social programs. What they don't want is some junkie sleeping, sh*tting and puking in high traffic or dangerous areas; and contrary to what the moron in the video claims, that's what these measures are for. I swear you people are all so credulous.
LittleLordFancyLad I know some people just say whatever they think. homeless people r homeless bc theres no jobs and/or mental health issues. people that want help get it but the drug addicts stay addicts. I had to hand out sandwiches to the homeless in gr11 and one guy wanted money for drugs the teach told everyone not to hand him a sandwich..which I argeed with.
I dont know about wich cities this guy talks, but i never saw stuff like that in germany. You can skate wherever you want, sleep on benches and put your sticker on every fucking lantern.
I live in NYC and most of these are true. The city hates homeless people. You can get introuble for giving them food or swiping them into the train station. It's crazy. We don't have the stickerless street signs everywhere yet but I have seen a few. NYC is a horrible place to the people that live here so expensive prices for everything keep going up so hard to survive even with a good job
@Bracetty. Getting in trouble for helping poeple in need. That's just kinda fucked up. Here in Germany they don't want (mostly homeless) people to harass people by excesive beging in downtown areas too. But homeless people here get help if they search for help. A lot of people proudly say, that no one has to starve or be homeless. There a federal and non federal institutions who help those people
He seemed to be talking more about USA and some Asian countries, I mean, none of this practices are common in the EU. In Spain we do have the arm-rest things, but that's only on the most touristic spots as people do tend to fall asleep on them.
I have to admit. It does work. I keep moving along to my house and to Amazon or some other online site to shop. And there's plenty of comfortable seating at my house as well.
I never noticed it until now, but when I was a kid my city used to have lots of great places to sit down and eat a sandwich or whatever. Now they have all these stupid benches which are uncomfortable, and nobody wants to eat outside anymore. Starbucks are happy, at least.
Kieran Quinlan I know it fuckin stupid. Why stop the homeless from lying there. It's horrible. They would want a sheltered please to lie if they were homeless. Think about karma
I have to object to calling any of these "sinister." Government is often about weighing competing interests. We should not be cruel to the homeless, but there are perfectly legitimate reasons to discourage people from sleeping on a bus stop or park bench. Having homeless people sleeping on benches makes people less interested in visiting the area, and it takes away that bench from people who want to use it for its intended purpose: to wait for a bus, view the park, etc. These designs aren't motivated by a desire to torture the homeless. A better way to think about this is as a balance between competing goods. It is a good thing to treat the struggling with empathy and to give them opportunities. It is also a good thing to have clean, desirable parks and safe, attractive retail and transit spaces. My personal view is that cities should set aside spaces for the homeless and provide programs to help with the usually underlying substance abuse or mental illness. However, the homeless should not be permitted to displace the people who are playing by the rules.
As I read what he wrote, it isn't the state of being homeless, it is how you act in public. The rules are the same for everybody. If a person with a home wanted to sleep there, it would be the same.
Being homeless is not breaking the law in itself. However, adults have a moral and social responsibility not to make others pay for their own choices. If you are not earning money by contributing to society, you shouldn't just get to take over a bus stop or the doorway of a store so that you have a place to sleep. This is making the people who _are_ active participants subsidize your lack of work. Again, I believe we should be sympathetic to people who are struggling and do our best to give them treatment or opportunities to take care of themselves. Many people are homeless for just a short time after an illness or job loss, and we should have a better safety net to provide people food & shelter in these situations. Long-term homeless often suffer from addiction or other mental or physical illnesses. I believe we should do our best to provide these people access to food, shelter and treatment to enable them to take care of themselves instead of relying on charity. Sleeping on a bus stop bench, though, is forcing strangers to take care of you by giving up their ability to use the bus stop for its actual purpose. We should be sympathetic, but those who don't work shouldn't get to take away the access of people who do.
+Sarah Finally some one made sense! 100% agreed. Feeling empathy for the homeless is one thing. but we cannot let them affect the economy of that area. If you don't take measures, a small business man may have to close down his shop because no one wants to visit the area because theirs too many homeless people.
Making sidewalks slim to allow more cars through, is not controlling behavior. Lets be honest, the only person wanting to make money more than the cities is you...
I agree. Sidewalks are slim because there is little pedestrian traffic and it would use more land, cost more to build and maintain. So they make them skinny.
If I can't take a seat to rest my feet for five minutes between shop visits, I'm just going to go home where I can rest my feet for five hours, and buy whatever it was that I wanted in the first place on Amazon, benefiting some other municipality.
Yes, I remember when stores and malls USED to have benches and chairs :-( If the local dept store doesn't have a place to sit and rest, I clear off a spot on one of the product shelves and use that!
Absolute truth! This is one of many reasons municipalities are trying to regulate innovation economy components away. Taxi medallions are a huge income source - Uber and Lyft are not - but it's hard to meaningfully kill Amazon.
officer401 I hope that you're either not a real cop, or you're just joking. While it is true that some people are homeless just because they don't have jobs, most can't even get jobs. Imagine if a smelly guy with raggedy clothes and messed up teeth asked you for a job. Most wouldn't hire someone like that to greet and/or serve their customers, because they would start losing money.
If the bench is too uncomfortable, I just sit on the floor. And use the bench as a table if applicable (obviously not for the round benches and half benches).
Yeah, poor guys. They have to move their asses and walk a mile or two so that they aren't in the most central and active part of a city to sleep publicly.
That's obvious. It's not really a dichotomy, it's not a choice between one or the other but if you spend less on this shit and take that money and spend it on helping them, guess what? There is more money for helping them!
Yeah, cause it's easy to get a job when you don't have a house or clothes to go to an interview. Most jobs I've been to asked for proof of residence, even the shitty ones.
You're totally missing the point. Do you honestly think most of the homeless people are choosing this lifestyle? Do you really think they're wanting to be homeless and jobless? It's not always about being "lazy." There's a reason these things happen. You're just looking at the problem, not the cause. That attitude is a big part of the problem. This lack of education makes me so sad.
Merrida100 If you people condemn the installation of studs to prevent homeless individuals from resting there, why not do something about it? Give them money for a hotel, instead of complaining about studs that 'clean' the city. You know, pouring concrete over metal spikes won't give these homeless people a job or an actual home. You're not being humane, you're just being a pain in the ass for the business that installed them.
Whatever Yeah, great idea mate, let me just get some money from my tree here... oh wait, I don't have a tree of money. We are not being humane, sure you are by supporting this kind of thing to "clean" the city as you say.
If you give a company shit because they put spikes outside to prevent homeless people from sleeping there, maybe you should let them sleep on your couch and give them a place to stay? Whats that? You'd rather they slept outside a store potentially losing it money from customers? Ok.
Are any of these explainations in any way official, or are they just your conspiritorial assumptions. 1. No, they probably don't want homeless people around, neither do I, or most other people. 2. No, they don't make money from not spending more on trash collecting. Rather they save money, taxpayer money that is. 3. Again, the money they make from ad space is taxpayer money not needed to be used. Also, stopping vandalism is usually not considered a bad thing. 4. They probably don't want people to be able to loiter because it attracts drunks and thugs which spend their time by just sitting around those benches, making the area more unsafe and less attractive. Also, just because you walk around does not mean that you have to spend money. 5. Maybe you don't need big sidewalk in suburbs because there really isn't any huge amount of pedestrian traffic anyway. So instead they make the sidewalk smaller and save space, which can instead be used for housing. A good reason to connect suburbs to the metropolitan areas might also be because those who live in the suburb will have to get into the metropolitan area for work and everything else not related with being inside your house, since there isn't anything in suburbs besides housing, which is the reason they exist. Small sidewalks also don't encourage car use, since there is no fucking way you're walking from a suburb to the downtown part of a city in any case. 6. People really shouldn't be skating in metropolitan areas of a city. It is a hinderence and a hazard, and it is fucking annoying. Also, it isn't dangerous if skaters aren't stupid and stick to appropriate areas when skating.
I laugh every time at those common videos of skaters attempting some stunt on the street and hurting their balls when they mess up. They are either silent in extreme pain or they scream like banshees. Either way they cry because they think they are professionals that can do anything when in reality they are just amateurs. And it's so funny because they are so stupid.
+Joseph Olvera A name on a youtube comment isn't threatening. You could be anyone, I could be anyone. Nebod Bnu could be anyone. Your threats and claims are quite worthless. When someone reads the multiple comments you typed, they see someone petty and desperate. The fact that you felt the need to attack this comment multiple times is astonishing to me, i see a lot of strange things in comment sections but this is practically silly. Anyway, my point doesn't matter because you don't seem like the kind of person to actually read all the way through and respond accordingly, and wither way i'm only doing this because I freakin love this keyboard.
nbt: Sounds like you missed your calling as an Urban Planner (though better save the "f' word for outside those meetings with the Mayor). A few points of correction, though: 1. Really, SAVING $ works the same as MAKING more $, when you think about it; 2. The $ a city makes from advertising has NOTHING to do with taxpayer $; 3. Skateboarders DO skate in places like this, there being precious few skateboard parks; that's the prob.
All these "but think of the homeless" comments are funny. Don't get me wrong I think it's a terrible thing of course, but these aren't designed to "punish" them. The city pays money for benches/railings/etc... They want people to use them for their intended purpose. If I had a nice store I wouldn't want homeless people sleeping in front of it either! And taking them down because of "backlash" is just ridiculous. You know what happens to shopping areas that have a lot of homeless people? No one goes there anymore! Am I saying it's the best solution? No, but it's better than "lets build them free houses!!!" like some people seem to want to do. Also that sidewalk one sounds completely made up... maybe double check the source on that one. Why would they even put the sidewalk there if they didn't want you to walk.
PS I know thinking of 10 things can be tough but I really think the benches should have all been 1 slot lol... and come on it would be hilarious to see some stupid kid try and grind down a railing without seeing the guards on it. But I don't think anyone is that dumb.
^Calm down you jackals. Can we just agree that regardless of which side you voted for, half of the U.S. voting population are idiots? It could be your side, or maybe not... The question is, would you really know since you may be an idiot? P.S. I am American.
+WyomingPTT Actually cities all across the world have shown that providing homeless people with houses saves them millions of dollars a year, since they no longer need to police them or pay for trips to the emergency room. But ofc you fucking lunatics have never let the facts stand in the way of your stupidity.
ENDLESS ETHAN I think they meant like you trip on the normal path. Afterall you saw spikes next to the enterance of a shop or just in front of window displays.
most of the time its a security thing, homeless people are more likely to attack others so a lot of the time busniess dont want them hanging around after hours or when their workers are finishing
most homeless who attack people are mentally ill and should be in care not on the street in the first place the mentally stable ones actually want to be left to their own devices some are even very honourable i have seen homeless people pick up money some one drops and hand it back to them just because they are homeless does not mean they forget how to be a decent person.
technology productions 2017 Well, I would too, if there were spikes everywhere. Having homeless people is their own fault after all, because of the lacking social system.
Lots of homeless people die in Poland, Romania, Ukraine and many other European countries when winters are particularly harsh. I once almost became homeless due to illness. It would have happened too if I didn't have such nice parents, that helped me back on my feet. This is in Denmark which is one of the best countries when it comes to helping people in a bad situation. So yeah, people have problems all over the world. No reason to see past local problems and gloat out of patriotism. It helps no one; especially the homeless.
+Lemonz1989 +Medizo Pony: I live in Finland and I think the more harsh climate at winter indeed is the "magic word". While in some countries you can live outside all year around without freezing alive (you basically only need to find some food), here in Finland that's not possible. Our society just can't ignore homeless people (at least not to the same extent than some other countries), because of it would be loss of lives every winter. So our officers are more "motivated (= forced)" to help people out. Of course some still die (for example passing out at winter at remote location). But it's because of our police don't have resources to see every corner of the country, rather than a common mentality of ignoring homeless people.
public space is soooo underrated, a place where people come together, debate, get to know one another, create idea's, it's a baseline for every society... no wonder we're so alienated from one another sometimes, only/most of the time we get together is to consume or to produce (work), I guess religion isn't that bad after all...
i half agree with you, one thing for sure is i jsut wont like or dislike, or dislike if its stupid. What the fuck is up with everyone wanting a "like" on their video? If your product is good you will get a review
Nooo. According to the fascist-left we are only supposed to help the illegal immigrants and turn a blind eye to American citizens. That is why illegals always live in a house with food stamps and free medical care and you only see American citizens living on the streets. Like La Fam who commented to your post. Most likely this person has or would protest the banning of illegal immigrants, yet bashes an American citizen down on their luck. They're anti-American and I certainly hope you take the time to really, really think about how things actually are, and why a lot of us made the move for change at the voting booths. If we don't take care of ourselves first we become unable to help anyone in the end.
You live in an interesting reality, Karen. Generally, people who care about others ('fascist-leftists' as you call them) care about all people's well-being, not just the people you blame for everything that's wrong in your life (immigrants, that is).
Thin sidewalks to drive more cars? The hell is the government thinking? We are trying to lower the environment hazard not making the air polluted with more cars, and plus people NEED to exercise more often since almost everyone is on their electronics and BARELY go outside and walk.
@gammaxana, as a former Walmart employee, who happened to work in security, I can say that there are indeed fake cameras. There were 6 in my store, and we were told to replace them with real ones when someone stole a major item right underneath one, and we didn't have the security footage to prove their guilt or innocence. Our AP guys were able to catch the thief, but only based on a tip from our associates, who happened to be helping the "customer" with the merchandise before the thief took off with it.
Many homeless people start out with jobs and stable residences, but then social and economic factors intervene, causing a rapid change in their living situation. The two biggest factors driving homelessness are poverty and the lack of affordable housing.
Anybody else got really mad after watching this? Those poor homeless folks! Although many of them got there because of their stupid life choices, I thought that they would be treated with a tad more humanity, but no governments are willing to spend millions to pretend they don't exist than do something to help them get back on their feet.
Kinda like the comment you didn't just leave( Sarcasm). Sorry about your grandpa, I'm fairly certain he wouldn't like seeing you being rude to someone grieving.
the war on homelessness is fckd, instead of addressing the issue of poverty let's just put spikes and masochistic benches everywhere and call it modern art
MAKINICO WO. Do you really think that I would unironically call somebody a commie fuc- and I now see why you think that I'm being sincere because I'm a complete stranger that you know nothing about
6:55 The metal studs on the ground are there for blind or visually impaired people. The studs are placed in a path from one pedestrian crossing to another. As such, one can independently follow the studs by walking on them or feeling them with a cane and safely get from one crossing to another without the danger of walking onto a street or falling of a sidewalk.
So cities spend tax payer's money specially to make poor homeless people even more uncomfortable than they are...this is so pathetic. it's about being humble and helpng others, not about looks, impressions, arrogance and pride. Everyone of us could be homeless due to events that we couldn't control. Nothing you have achieved or have in life is because of your own doing, it's all a gift from God and He coulkd take all that away in a heartbeat. "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." - Matthew 22:37-40 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." - Matthew 7:12 "And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." - Job 1:21
Now that whole spike thing, doesn't that just make a city look even more evil? That's really adding insult to injury. "Oh yeah those spikes are just decorative... because decorative spikes are stylish."
a secret for skaters on the last one. back when me and my homies used to skate, we kept a crowbar and wax around so that if we came across one of those blocks on a surface wanted to skate, we could actually just knock it off. it doesnt pry, it can only be knocked out of place. And then we used the wax to make it easier to skate of course lol
Society needs to shift its efforts from "controlling" homelessness (as if being forced to sleep on a bench or under an overpass or on a heating vent will ever be a picnic) to better dealing with its root causes, from mental illness to drug addiction, a better VA to jobs--because moving people along doesn't get rid of them, it merely shifts the problem somewhere else.
If I had money raining down on me. I would go to all the different countries, sit on their different benches and then rate them. Then write a book about the comfort level of benches around the planet.
God says: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (1 Timothy 6:10)
Yep. All the benches could have easily been combined into a single item, making room for other things - like crosswalk buttons that don't actually do anything except give pedestrians a false sense of agency.

lmfao. Real Talk.
literally i was getting pissed because of stupid the people who made this are
this guy is obsessed about benches
he was probably attacked by one when he was just a kid.. traumatized him for life
Some modern benches could do that :)
It's just that he couldn't really come up with a top 10, so he recycled the bench fact like 5 times :D

EggToast ya and then get arrested
You should rename this
“How to get arrested”
Hahaha that’s a good one!
You forgot to mention lights. Cities have street lights to help people see at night so they don't walk into trees and homeless people on the streets.
IncognitoCreepo bullshit. they install "street lamps" to make sure homeless people can't sleep there.
IncognitoCreepo streetlights actually produce a significant decrease in crime rates
Cities should install beds so homeless people can't sleep there.
they don't put up any lights in most suburbs (to save money)
Sergiy Botsman yeah they do
So rather than actually tackle the homeless problem in cities, they just come up with ways to make them invisible. Brilliant.
Don't be gullible. Every city has huge numbers of homeless shelters, soup kitchens and social programs.

Seems like everything is designed to keep peoople moving along. Nothing to see here, move along.

except for the anti-skate bumps, you can't move along on those lol
I have to admit. It does work. I keep moving along to my house and to Amazon or some other online site to shop. And there's plenty of comfortable seating at my house as well.

Same here in norway, but the world have changed to become twisted.
I dont know if we normal people ever get the same feeling of freedom ever again..
The police cars and security cameras was a good idea. The others, kinda unfair
619WWEFAN And the sticker one is ok. the handrests are ok IMO. but the spikes... no.
619WWEFAN And skater studs
I don't mind the armrests one.
There are 'homes' for people with no other places to live in Germany, so they should go there to sleep.
If people keeps saying laws are "unfair", "too strict", "inhumane", "not nice" then why should we have a law?
It's for politicians to have a tool which they are using to lie to the population to stuff their own pockets.
cities also make roads, so they can stop people from swimming to work. everything was designed functional, not control.
What if it's designed for both function and control.
I feel so sorry for the Homeless after watching this

We should not be cruel to the homeless, but there are perfectly legitimate reasons to discourage people from sleeping on a bus stop or park bench. Having homeless people sleeping on benches makes people less interested in visiting the area, and it takes away that bench from people who want to use it for its intended purpose: to wait for a bus, view the park, etc. These designs aren't motivated by a desire to torture the homeless.
A better way to think about this is as a balance between competing goods. It is a good thing to treat the struggling with empathy and to give them opportunities. It is also a good thing to have clean, desirable parks and safe, attractive retail and transit spaces.

Being homeless is not breaking the law in itself. However, adults have a moral and social responsibility not to make others pay for their own choices. If you are not earning money by contributing to society, you shouldn't just get to take over a bus stop or the doorway of a store so that you have a place to sleep. This is making the people who _are_ active participants subsidize your lack of work.
Again, I believe we should be sympathetic to people who are struggling and do our best to give them treatment or opportunities to take care of themselves. Many people are homeless for just a short time after an illness or job loss, and we should have a better safety net to provide people food & shelter in these situations. Long-term homeless often suffer from addiction or other mental or physical illnesses. I believe we should do our best to provide these people access to food, shelter and treatment to enable them to take care of themselves instead of relying on charity.
Sleeping on a bus stop bench, though, is forcing strangers to take care of you by giving up their ability to use the bus stop for its actual purpose. We should be sympathetic, but those who don't work shouldn't get to take away the access of people who do.
Sarah yes let's look at a human problem like a capitalistic one, that defiantly isn't a trait of a sociopath.
We need more people like you to raise issues like this nationwide. Most people are just plain selfish but not all. Time to act now or never.
+Sarah Finally some one made sense! 100% agreed. Feeling empathy for the homeless is one thing. but we cannot let them affect the economy of that area.

I've got it!!!! Lean-on benches.... With spikes!
And armrests!
And metal studs
Harsh dude
Making sidewalks slim to allow more cars through, is not controlling behavior. Lets be honest, the only person wanting to make money more than the cities is you...
Dont be simple
Most places in America people don't even use side walks.
I agree. Sidewalks are slim because there is little pedestrian traffic and it would use more land, cost more to build and maintain. So they make them skinny.
That's silly, i'd rather start a one man protest, that'd make more sense...and it wouldn't be such a waste of cash like a car in an urban environment.
If I can't take a seat to rest my feet for five minutes between shop visits, I'm just going to go home where I can rest my feet for five hours, and buy whatever it was that I wanted in the first place on Amazon, benefiting some other municipality.
Yes, I remember when stores and malls USED to have benches and chairs :-(
If the local dept store doesn't have a place to sit and rest, I clear off a spot
on one of the product shelves and use that!
badass here.
watch out they're gonna put spikes in shelves too
Absolute truth! This is one of many reasons municipalities are trying to regulate innovation economy components away. Taxi medallions are a huge income source - Uber and Lyft are not - but it's hard to meaningfully kill Amazon.

officer401 I hope that you're either not a real cop, or you're just joking. While it is true that some people are homeless just because they don't have jobs, most can't even get jobs. Imagine if a smelly guy with raggedy clothes and messed up teeth asked you for a job. Most wouldn't hire someone like that to greet and/or serve their customers, because they would start losing money.
the ones with jobs are the most behaviour controlled ones. lmfao
Gordon Ramshrek he is a detective. So yes he is real.
i can sit on any bench cus i have comfortable ass
Haniul Hanif you have and cancer
John da hobo and you have a brain tumor
If the bench is too uncomfortable, I just sit on the floor. And use the bench as a table if applicable (obviously not for the round benches and half benches).
Your donkey is quite comfortable
Haniul Hanif you the guy in cyanide and happiness?
6:51 | Those studs are next to a road so blind people can know where to cross the road. They are not to discourage skateboarding.
Those studs, maybe, but the rest of them are grind blockers for sure.
That's what they want you to think.
I thought it was anti-slip for wet weather when they were on the ground
Nope, it's to prevent homeless people from sleeping on them.
MrMattsung 😂😂😂
is it just me, or are those yellow "half benches" not perfect for skaters?
Michael Edlin as a fellow skater.... I was was amazed at how cute is that yellow bench for my new trick im currently learning... hahahaha
The ingenuity that goes into making the homeless miserable is amazing.
Yeah, poor guys. They have to move their asses and walk a mile or two so that they aren't in the most central and active part of a city to sleep publicly.
Wow, they want junkies in shelters and social programs instead of sleeping and crapping in the streets. They're practically monsters.
I don't like seeing homeless people either but I would rather see the money spent on getting them help.
You realize that's a false dichotomy right?
That's obvious. It's not really a dichotomy, it's not a choice between one or the other but if you spend less on this shit and take that money and spend it on helping them, guess what? There is more money for helping them!
This is horrible why make harder for homeless people
Yeah, cause it's easy to get a job when you don't have a house or clothes to go to an interview. Most jobs I've been to asked for proof of residence, even the shitty ones.
You're totally missing the point. Do you honestly think most of the homeless people are choosing this lifestyle? Do you really think they're wanting to be homeless and jobless? It's not always about being "lazy." There's a reason these things happen. You're just looking at the problem, not the cause. That attitude is a big part of the problem. This lack of education makes me so sad.
Sometimes people get homeless if their partner kicks then out or something it's not their fault
Merrida100 If you people condemn the installation of studs to prevent homeless individuals from resting there, why not do something about it? Give them money for a hotel, instead of complaining about studs that 'clean' the city. You know, pouring concrete over metal spikes won't give these homeless people a job or an actual home. You're not being humane, you're just being a pain in the ass for the business that installed them.
Whatever Yeah, great idea mate, let me just get some money from my tree here... oh wait, I don't have a tree of money. We are not being humane, sure you are by supporting this kind of thing to "clean" the city as you say.
If you give a company shit because they put spikes outside to prevent homeless people from sleeping there, maybe you should let them sleep on your couch and give them a place to stay? Whats that? You'd rather they slept outside a store potentially losing it money from customers? Ok.
Randomkunt01 love you bro, funny ass comment and shows how little logic people these days have
Randomkunt01 yep, cities lose money from homeless sleeping under a bridge.
Are any of these explainations in any way official, or are they just your conspiritorial assumptions.
1. No, they probably don't want homeless people around, neither do I, or most other people.
2. No, they don't make money from not spending more on trash collecting. Rather they save money, taxpayer money that is.
3. Again, the money they make from ad space is taxpayer money not needed to be used. Also, stopping vandalism is usually not considered a bad thing.
4. They probably don't want people to be able to loiter because it attracts drunks and thugs which spend their time by just sitting around those benches, making the area more unsafe and less attractive. Also, just because you walk around does not mean that you have to spend money.
5. Maybe you don't need big sidewalk in suburbs because there really isn't any huge amount of pedestrian traffic anyway. So instead they make the sidewalk smaller and save space, which can instead be used for housing. A good reason to connect suburbs to the metropolitan areas might also be because those who live in the suburb will have to get into the metropolitan area for work and everything else not related with being inside your house, since there isn't anything in suburbs besides housing, which is the reason they exist. Small sidewalks also don't encourage car use, since there is no fucking way you're walking from a suburb to the downtown part of a city in any case.
6. People really shouldn't be skating in metropolitan areas of a city. It is a hinderence and a hazard, and it is fucking annoying. Also, it isn't dangerous if skaters aren't stupid and stick to appropriate areas when skating.
I laugh every time at those common videos of skaters attempting some stunt on the street and hurting their balls when they mess up. They are either silent in extreme pain or they scream like banshees. Either way they cry because they think they are professionals that can do anything when in reality they are just amateurs. And it's so funny because they are so stupid.
Well tbh they probably cry because falling face-first on concrete at high speed is sometimes quite painful
+Joseph Olvera A name on a youtube comment isn't threatening. You could be anyone, I could be anyone. Nebod Bnu could be anyone. Your threats and claims are quite worthless. When someone reads the multiple comments you typed, they see someone petty and desperate. The fact that you felt the need to attack this comment multiple times is astonishing to me, i see a lot of strange things in comment sections but this is practically silly. Anyway, my point doesn't matter because you don't seem like the kind of person to actually read all the way through and respond accordingly, and wither way i'm only doing this because I freakin love this keyboard.
you are wasting your time with tht comment....he doesn't need anything to be factual or logical, he knows he will get the views..
nbt: Sounds like you missed your calling as an Urban Planner (though better save the "f' word for outside those meetings with the Mayor). A few points of correction, though: 1. Really, SAVING $ works the same as MAKING more $, when you think about it; 2. The $ a city makes from advertising has NOTHING to do with taxpayer $; 3. Skateboarders DO skate in places like this, there being precious few skateboard parks; that's the prob.
All these "but think of the homeless" comments are funny. Don't get me wrong I think it's a terrible thing of course, but these aren't designed to "punish" them. The city pays money for benches/railings/etc... They want people to use them for their intended purpose. If I had a nice store I wouldn't want homeless people sleeping in front of it either! And taking them down because of "backlash" is just ridiculous. You know what happens to shopping areas that have a lot of homeless people? No one goes there anymore! Am I saying it's the best solution? No, but it's better than "lets build them free houses!!!" like some people seem to want to do.
Also that sidewalk one sounds completely made up... maybe double check the source on that one. Why would they even put the sidewalk there if they didn't want you to walk.
PS I know thinking of 10 things can be tough but I really think the benches should have all been 1 slot lol... and come on it would be hilarious to see some stupid kid try and grind down a railing without seeing the guards on it. But I don't think anyone is that dumb.
idk half the people in the us voted hillary......... and half of that before voted bernie............ pretty dumb if u ask me
+Blazed IV XX Half the people also voted for Trump, which tops the charts of stupidity.
^Calm down you jackals. Can we just agree that regardless of which side you voted for, half of the U.S. voting population are idiots? It could be your side, or maybe not... The question is, would you really know since you may be an idiot?
P.S. I am American.
+WyomingPTT Actually cities all across the world have shown that providing homeless people with houses saves them millions of dollars a year, since they no longer need to police them or pay for trips to the emergency room. But ofc you fucking lunatics have never let the facts stand in the way of your stupidity.
you put spikes on floor 😐 if some one trips on accident you be sue
some one NAME VALENCIA well if there is a sign that says "At OWN risk" or "careful" You can't sue because they warned
ENDLESS ETHAN I think they meant like you trip on the normal path. Afterall you saw spikes next to the enterance of a shop or just in front of window displays.
some one NAME VALENCIA the spikes are fore homeless people
4:56 haha. That guy's got the right idea.
Lol I don't even have to click the time stamp to know who you're talking about XD
As if homeless people didn't have it bad enough already.
Well maybe they shouldn't be homeless
People don't usually want to be homeless.
Circumstances happen to them where they end up in poverty and
can't afford things like a home or even food.
most of the time its a security thing, homeless people are more likely to attack others so a lot of the time busniess dont want them hanging around after hours or when their workers are finishing
most homeless who attack people are mentally ill and should be in care not on the street in the first place the mentally stable ones actually want to be left to their own devices some are even very honourable i have seen homeless people pick up money some one drops and hand it back to them just because they are homeless does not mean they forget how to be a decent person.
Lol, fuck homeless fucks. I don't understand why poor people just don't buy more money.

10 Sneaky Ways Cites HATE HOBOS
yeah those damn hobos with their skateboards and stickers everywhere
Good thing I live in europe, where benches still are comfortable, skaters just get a lot big skateparks and homeless people get cared for.
Medizo Pony I bet they also have alot of homeless people fighting other people
technology productions 2017 Well, I would too, if there were spikes everywhere. Having homeless people is their own fault after all, because of the lacking social system.
TheAlexanderUchiha Maggu, is that you?
But anyway, well, some countries do it, yes, but at least my homecountry isn't.
Lots of homeless people die in Poland, Romania, Ukraine and many other European countries when winters are particularly harsh. I once almost became homeless due to illness. It would have happened too if I didn't have such nice parents, that helped me back on my feet. This is in Denmark which is one of the best countries when it comes to helping people in a bad situation. So yeah, people have problems all over the world.
No reason to see past local problems and gloat out of patriotism. It helps no one; especially the homeless.
+Lemonz1989 +Medizo Pony: I live in Finland and I think the more harsh climate at winter indeed is the "magic word". While in some countries you can live outside all year around without freezing alive (you basically only need to find some food), here in Finland that's not possible. Our society just can't ignore homeless people (at least not to the same extent than some other countries), because of it would be loss of lives every winter. So our officers are more "motivated (= forced)" to help people out.
Of course some still die (for example passing out at winter at remote location). But it's because of our police don't have resources to see every corner of the country, rather than a common mentality of ignoring homeless people.
Hey, Top 10s, huge spikes under a bridge aren't sneaky... I think you either need your eyes checked, or learn the meaning of the word 'sneaky'...
The bin thing ... the ones with coverings, anyway, is also to prevent scavenging birds.
ok Charlie im finally going to watch this cause RUclips keeps recommending it.
thin sidewalks? That was a gutter bro
public space is soooo underrated, a place where people come together,
debate, get to know one another, create idea's, it's a baseline for
every society... no wonder we're so alienated from one another
sometimes, only/most of the time we get together is to consume or to
produce (work), I guess religion isn't that bad after all...
when someone "reminds" me to like a video before I've even seen it, I dislike that video.
i half agree with you, one thing for sure is i jsut wont like or dislike, or dislike if its stupid. What the fuck is up with everyone wanting a "like" on their video? If your product is good you will get a review
We're supposed to help the homeless tf
ii_twisted_thorns YT ikr
ii_twisted_thorns YT Well then give them money instead of complaining about small studs.
Nooo. According to the fascist-left we are only supposed to help the illegal immigrants and turn a blind eye to American citizens. That is why illegals always live in a house with food stamps and free medical care and you only see American citizens living on the streets. Like La Fam who commented to your post. Most likely this person has or would protest the banning of illegal immigrants, yet bashes an American citizen down on their luck. They're anti-American and I certainly hope you take the time to really, really think about how things actually are, and why a lot of us made the move for change at the voting booths. If we don't take care of ourselves first we become unable to help anyone in the end.
Dude dont judge all the homeless maybe this guy was an ass but not all homless people are like that..
You live in an interesting reality, Karen. Generally, people who care about others ('fascist-leftists' as you call them) care about all people's well-being, not just the people you blame for everything that's wrong in your life (immigrants, that is).
"Have you ever been walking in the suburbs?"
Me: Nope
Thin sidewalks to drive more cars? The hell is the government thinking? We are trying to lower the environment hazard not making the air polluted with more cars, and plus people NEED to exercise more often since almost everyone is on their electronics and BARELY go outside and walk.
That "thin sidewalk" was actually for water drain, there was a perfectly normal sidewalk righr next to it.
Some Walmarts have fake cameras
not quite. the only areas not covered are bathrooms if I recall.
@gammaxana, as a former Walmart employee, who happened to work in security, I can say that there are indeed fake cameras. There were 6 in my store, and we were told to replace them with real ones when someone stole a major item right underneath one, and we didn't have the security footage to prove their guilt or innocence. Our AP guys were able to catch the thief, but only based on a tip from our associates, who happened to be helping the "customer" with the merchandise before the thief took off with it.
gammaxana
Did you guys not have enough real cameras to cover all the major items?
lol... Walmart, where the freaks go shopping.
1:12 whoever photoshopped that clearly had no idea what they were doing
o shit, their onto us. we don't want drunkards and homeless people sleeping in places supposed to be reserved for sitting
why is the world so cruel to homeless???
Sasuke Uchiha cause what kind of person ends up homeless, think about it
Many homeless people start out with jobs and stable residences, but then social and economic factors intervene, causing a rapid change in their living situation. The two biggest factors driving homelessness are poverty and the lack of affordable housing.
they dont make anyone money
Because a lot of homeless people are assholes and attack or mug people.
That's because they have no other choice.
"Kind of harsh if you think about it."I'd say reasonable if you thought about it a little more.
Anybody else got really mad after watching this? Those poor homeless folks! Although many of them got there because of their stupid life choices, I thought that they would be treated with a tad more humanity, but no governments are willing to spend millions to pretend they don't exist than do something to help them get back on their feet.
Gerard Jagroo when the government spends those millions they generate jobs which allows people to not be homeless.
Gerard Jagroo i dont feel bad for homeless they need a job
Gerard Jagroo
Cities do this so that homeless people don't hang around and make people like tourists say: "This city is so uncivilised!"

I love the way you say "cities" XD
If everything else fails, I can always sit on the ground.
TAKE THAT, FILTHY GOVERMENT! XD
by putting spikes on the sidewalk! they'll never notice! mwahahaha
Preventing homeless people from sleeping on the benches is not sinister
so in los angeles they had installed metal benches out in the sun. nobody dares use them
6:55 The metal studs on the ground are there for blind or visually impaired people. The studs are placed in a path from one pedestrian crossing to another. As such, one can independently follow the studs by walking on them or feeling them with a cane and safely get from one crossing to another without the danger of walking onto a street or falling of a sidewalk.
just carry a light thin piece of plywood,slap it down on the spikes,lay down and go to sleep.lol
That last slide got me fucked up. First it's cuffed pants and dad hats, now it's cargo shorts and sandals. What's next, full body armor?
This list should've been "top 10 city bench laws"
>They make sidewalks small to make people drive
That isn't stopping them from walking in the street where I live.
Bizarre benches are no problem, if I'm not dressed all nicely I can just sit on the floor.... Ouch!! Oh right, the spikes...
So cities spend tax payer's money specially to make poor homeless people even more uncomfortable than they are...this is so pathetic. it's about being humble and helpng others, not about looks, impressions, arrogance and pride. Everyone of us could be homeless due to events that we couldn't control. Nothing you have achieved or have in life is because of your own doing, it's all a gift from God and He coulkd take all that away in a heartbeat.
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." - Matthew 22:37-40
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." - Matthew 7:12
"And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." - Job 1:21
Now that whole spike thing, doesn't that just make a city look even more evil? That's really adding insult to injury.
"Oh yeah those spikes are just decorative... because decorative spikes are stylish."
Narrow sidewalks prevent homeless people from sleeping on them
Decorating cities with spikes?
Seems like bowser left his kingdom to become a mayor
a secret for skaters on the last one. back when me and my homies used to skate, we kept a crowbar and wax around so that if we came across one of those blocks on a surface wanted to skate, we could actually just knock it off. it doesnt pry, it can only be knocked out of place. And then we used the wax to make it easier to skate of course lol
Other than the weird benches and small sidewalks, I'm all for these.
"these spikes are there to avoid people sitting there" i found out the hard way :(
oh give me a break i were 11 or something...
Society needs to shift its efforts from "controlling" homelessness (as if being forced to sleep on a bench or under an overpass or on a heating vent will ever be a picnic) to better dealing with its root causes, from mental illness to drug addiction, a better VA to jobs--because moving people along doesn't get rid of them, it merely shifts the problem somewhere else.
the more stuff like this that comes, the more we get used to it, and the more bizarre they will get.
If I had money raining down on me.
I would go to all the different countries, sit on their different benches and then rate them.
Then write a book about the comfort level of benches around the planet.
The "metal studs" are tactile strips/paving. There mainly for the blind and visually impaired.
You know those metal patterns on sidewalks at 6:53 aren't to stop people from skating, they're to help blind people using canes navigate...
I can still sleep sitting up, it just makes it better even I have an armrest.
Let's put stickers on uncomfortable benches
God says: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (1 Timothy 6:10)
I remember watching this years ago and it’s crazy how these tactics were so advanced for that time
A matter of syntax: They aren't thin sidewalks, they are narrow sidewalks. Thank you.
damn looks like he didnt have enough content and tried to shove benches down your throat.
Yep. All the benches could have easily been combined into a single item, making room for other things - like crosswalk buttons that don't actually do anything except give pedestrians a false sense of agency.
okusar, sometimes those buttons only work during certain times of day, like during the night, or they only control the audible signal for the blind
You forgot to talk about benches. Mostly to prevent homeless people to sleep on em.
Solution to anti-sticker covers: bring glue and or tape.
2:14-2:17
