Remember, when you see anti-homeless architecture, you are morally obliged to come back later with a hammer to correct it.
It's pretty ironic that if the homeless vandalize anti-homeless architecture enough, the state will end up housing and feeding them in prison.
Let's reframe that:
It's pretty horrific that the US prison industrial system benefits from imprisoned populations available to the used as slave labor enough that cities with higher homeless populations rather than doing literally anything to help choose to make things harder and more likely for a crime to occur such that homeless folks can be scooped up and dropped into the slave quarters prisons.
Edit: spelling, my god this needs punctuation, use your imagination and add it yourself 👍
Sometimes it comes at a cost though. Remember the LA fires not that many months ago? They used a lot of inmates as cheap and expendable labor to fight the fires.
We need to work shop an effective and fast way to remove these spikes without getting caught, because I can't think of how a person could do it without it taking a long time.
Hi vis vest and a hard hat would probably be all one needed to look official enough to get it done even if it takes a while.
To be extra convincing, park a white pickup truck with flashing lights nearby. That also gives you somewhere to throw all the spikes instead of just piling them up on the ground.
If you want to really seal the deal and have some money, a work truck with tools in the bed with some screen printing on the door "Lemming Contractor Services" or maybe "Lemming Road Services"
Put a piece of plywood on top.
this is the solution. roll up in an f-150 with a hard hat and hi-vis, bolt down concrete anchors and 2x4"s, then lay plywood on top. then put planters around the area to break line-of-sight, and draw a zebra crossing on the road.
Now if you want to get really convincing and prank the city big time, get a team of people, steal the necessary equipment and materials. Remove the spikes carefully, making sure the surface is nice and smooth. Add benches, trash cans and large planters with some nice plants. The choice is yours. Make a large sign with name of the city on it, and add it to the space so that it's visible.
Next, a big thing.
Close down the road on both sides. On one side, remove the road lines, paint a bicycle lane and add street lights. Add more benches and trash cans along the way.
On the other side, from which that sign with city name is clearly visible, you'll rip out the road. Then fill the hole with chunky rocks. Lay evenly spaced sleepers on top of them, put steel rails on top, and anchor them to the sleepers. Next, you fill the gaps with some smaller stones along the way.
Optimally, you'll keep this prank ongoing through the entire country and add other necessary components to it.
between that and cybertrucks i should probably just keep the hammer on me
