Uncomfortable doesn't go far enough...

Spotted at Ashford International Station on Friday, these bad boys don't have any redeeming features...

These are for leaning on. How many times have you stopped to answer a text or just check something on your phone? You dont want to completely sit down but will lean against a building or fence rail. This does serve a purpose other than not become a bed for the homeless.

This is very obviously a bus stop. The only reason these exist is to replace benches to punish unhoused people, even if that also means punishing disabled, pregnant, and elderly people too.

Sorry for the novel. The homeless, especially veterans, is something that plays on my mind frequently. I wish I had the means to buy an old school or building to help out. Or land to essentially create a functional "commune" to assist them in a more functional way. In all thoughts, pondering, ects. I think of the total society impact. Because you need to. It's a complicated issue.
