The amount of money cities spend on anti homeless architecture is much, much more than it would cost to provide everyone with a house. They choose to punish the poorest people in our society not to save money but purely because they believe that homeless people deserve to suffer. https://t.co/SmtWdVwWZy

Los Angeles. The city calls these "arm-rests".
