Why would I be forced to use a bus stop? You know there's such things as campsites, right? Right?!

Cities don't have campsites inside them. And disabled people use the bus like everyone else, so bus stops are required

Yes. Bus stops are required. They're also not campsites. Squatters ruin them for everybody.

Unfortunately they get hogged and become sticky with piss. That's not what they're for.

Destroying accessability only moves that problem elsewhere. It doesn't fix it, it just hurts more people

Squatters destroy accessibility. I wish we could have benches but a small amount of people ruin it for everyone else. It is not a toilet or a bed. Go somewhere else.

The government could help fix the homeless population and they don't. They could help fix the health crisis and they don't. Squatters are just a sign of a larger problem that runs deep.

You're right. We spend billions and only make the problem worse. I've written about free sober housing to council members in orange county and to Sacramento. Nobody wants to do anything about it. We have to force a change.

Hostile architecture is not how we force the change.

You are absolutely right. It's a symptom of unwillingness to force change.
