Klopca, ki s svojimi barvami pošilja pozitivno sporočilo, vključuje pet naslonov za roke, ki so postavljeni s ciljem, da se brezdomcem onemogoči spanje na klopci. Ko sprejemaš drugačnost in hkrati sovražiš brezdomce,” je Isaac napisal na družbenem omrežju.

Azuelos je nato objavil še nekaj primerov take “antibrezdomske” arhitekture, kar je med uporabniki Twitterja sprožilo burno razpravo.
Here are a few more (less ironic) examples of the same sort of exclusionary design from around my neighbourhood. Most of these are deliberate choices by the city. pic.twitter.com/fqEtbAHI0y

“Do sedaj nisem nikoli opazila, da so te klopi resnično grozljive za tiste, ki potrebujejo prostor za spanje”, “Prepoznavanje primerov sovražnih modelov in slabe dostopnosti je zelo pomembno – to je jasen primer tega, kar štejemo za del skupnosti na javnih mestih”, so se vrstili komentarji.
Recognizing instances of hostile design & poor accessibility is important — it’s a solid representation of who is considered part of the community in public spaces. It’s not the end of the discussion though and no one concerned about hostile design would argue that it should be.

Someone should really give media attention to how ridiculous this is. Maybe @sprawlcalgary @Metropike @mikesbloggity? #yyc https://t.co/mSw8Jh1kYi

Never realized that the divided seating on public benches was a deterrent for those needing a place to sleep…
What a reality check that is. https://t.co/VrayPGv1X0

The crime of designing public spaces to be uncomfortable, especially as an affront to unhoused humans. Making it more difficult for someone to rest safely & comfortably in public spaces.— BoulderNews (@markgelband) 13 May 2018
Seveda pa so se javili tudi tisti, ki niso tako prepričani, da gre za negativno namero. “Mogoče so ti ročaji tam, da bi starejšim državljanom olajšali dvigovanje s klopi?”, “Mogoče je to ukrep proti rolkanju na klopi?”, “Oblikovalec sem in ti ročaji so tam, da privabijo čim več ljudi, da sedejo na klop. Če na njej sedi nekdo, ki ga ne poznate, verjetno ne boste prisedli. “Ročaji so tam kot delitveni člen. Je pa res, da so velika ovira za brezdomce,” so se razpisali.
Perhaps those supports are to help the elderly patron mentioned to stand up after sitting down ? Something to be considered at the least.

Ko je tweet postal viralen, se je Isaacu javilo podjetje, odgovorno za park. Pojasnili so mu, da klopca ni njihov dizajn, ampak donacija “za starejše občane, ki v park zahajajo vsak dan”.
