What do you think of this? Do you support it? Also, what's your general view of the homeless?

It's not okay. Taking away space to sleep on won't solve the problem, but shift it to someone else.

These spikes are useless. Just cover them with plywood

I don't know about you, but the homeless normally don't carry a piece of plywood as large as themselves with them.

It's not for homeless. It's for loitering nogs you fucking idiots.

Fantastic. Homeless are homeless for a reason: they have failed the social contract and nobody wants them. They should be allowed to die if they continue with their failures.

I don't like it it will just shift the problem. Hitler was right. Homeless need to be cremated to end homelessness for ever.

fuck the homeless

The homeless should be eliminated

I wish that they were in the ground and would shoot out once someone was laying down on them.

Homeless are often mentally ill and down on their luck. drug use and alcoholism is rampant. give them a labor camp to live in and shoot those who resist. easy fix imo

I agree, it's pretty awful

our countries have BILLIONS for banks, for corruption, and for worthless foreigners coming here miling the system with politicians applauding their arrival, but they don't have a few modest millions per city to take care of the homeless so that they don't freeze to death in winter and have a warm soup every day at least

If our governments didn't spend all of our money importing/placating niggers we might have some money for the homeless.

He didn't say that, he was a homeless too.
KeK

Well if people keep loitering in those places and causing problems, what's wrong with it?

It's not like actions are mutually exclusive anyway. Put down spikes AND have social programs. Seems like a good strategy to me.

Most people that are homeless want to be homeless. There are billions of govt programs for free housing and shelters and shit.

But they may have enough cardboard to make a platform thick enough.

I find the topic endlessly fascinating in general; that of the difference between the visions of architects and designers, and the reality of men. Like when they lay down gravel paths over grass lawns, but the paths don't match where people want to walk so they just walk across the grass anyway and kill it. Heh

and it's good that there are

>Most people that are homeless want to be homeless.
complete nonsense.
if you live in a city that's like that then more power to you but that's not the case for 90% of the homeless in the west or the world.

just in my city of 500k there exists only the bare minimum of shelters and food banks. Most people dont even know where they are.

But imagine, they recently built housing for incoming arabs and nigros. 400k each building multiple millions total and that was just one location there are other places where they get to stay as well.

If you life in a large city with a homeless problem then you will undoubtedly support these measures. If you want to help the homeless, then donate to a charity. Those spikes aren't making anyone any more homeless. If anything, income from panhandling removes any incentive for homeless people to solve their situation. Only sheltered suburbanites get outraged over shit like this.

In Southern California I would agree. This is one of the few places in the world you can live outside in the elements all year round and not die.

Combine that with Hippie Culture and you get a whole bunch of people that consider it a lifestyle choice. I have only met one bum out here that was truly fucked up. You go to Phoenix, Vegas or NYC you see why these fuckers are living on the streets, because they're fucked in the head. Out here, it's like they're fucking camping.

It's good. We need more anti-homeless-spikes :3

oh boy, how long til someone hurts there self on these and sues for millions. the really thought this through.

Homeless people can easily get around this with wood, or thick cardboard as previously mentioned.

homeless fucking suck because the ones you see have no shame and are addicts
they ruin any sort of public area and prevent working people from enjoying themselves (and spending money)
cities can't make any sort of accommodation for the homeless without creating a magnet for bums across the entire nation
so they go the opposite route and make the city intolerable for a homeless person
most cities in the US you can't even sleep overnight in your car; I don't know how these places in Seattle and SF get away with setting up entire camps

If you put some plywood over the spikes you're actually more isolated from the ground.
These spikes are useless.

I think we aren't doing enough.

Everyone under 20k/yr before taxes needs to be systematically deported at the end of each year.

No age limit. No excuses.

>Own a business
>Large overhang in the front
>Homeless people like to keep out of the rain by taking shelter there
>Everything's fine
>Go out to change a sign
>Human shit in front of your door
>A couple needles on the ground
>Tell those homeless guys to fuck off
>They get aggressive
>Install these spikes
>Everyone says you're an asshole

New York University has these spikes.

Liberals are such fucking hypocrites.

Its not aesthetic at all, but at the same time, a bunch of hobos doesn't look good either.

Fuck the homeless.
We have a welfare state.
This means to be homeless you have to be so antisocial that you've been kicked out of every tenament or shelter you've ever been in.

This means the homeless are really assholes.

I think people hating on the homeless just don't understand how easily you can become one
Especially in third world shitholes like the US

To hell with the homeless. 99% of them just fentanyl addicts and I applaud the guy in Vegas who killed them randomly.

Disgusting treatment of our poors, downtrodden. That's so despicable an act

>Not paying them 15 dollars to fuck off

this

fuck bums

just like niggers the only people that support them havent actually had to experience them

>Most people that are homeless want to be homeless
yeah user, homelessness is a fucking blast. funner than a barrel of monkeys

In most municipalities, there are more than enough "dry" shelters which will only take in sober people. "Wet" shelters which take in those currently under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol are incredibly dangerous for the staff and thus rather rare. Most homeless people choose to be "wet"

Pretty shitty. They are tackling a syptom of the problem rather than the real problem - a weak economy.

In Ireland most people who are 'homeless' are just scroungers looking to get a free gaff from the government. Lots of articles in the mdeia these days all variations on "i got 5 kids and I need a guaranteed house forever, now i'm living in a hotel on the government money i need to be living in a house getting child support for each kid and not working ever" all while house prices and rent have gone insane for anyone trying to actually contribute to the country. The real homeless people in Ireland are mostly drug addicted, alcoholic scum who are absolutely beyond help and no amount of gov. money is going to help them. There was a lad froxze to death last year and all the media was like wa wa wa muh homeless turned out he had 2 free gaffs before but pissed it all away on booze. Fucking scum.

>not beating them up for free

yeah i see homeless waiting in line at Home Depot buying huge sheets of plywood all the time. kys

>France
>calling anyone third world
Lel. Anyplace importing muzzies in bulk is not First world

Wouldent bumps do the same thing and be less dangerous and a little more cost effective? Seems like over kill

I'd go with the George Carlin approach take all golf courses I mean all and turn them into homeless shelters and fuck those people let them sleep

I think having high, angled walls would be better for liability reasons.

rent plywood out to homeless people, pay of the national debt.

Costs a few hundred a month to not be homeless. They get that in handouts. They're choosing to be homeless you fuck wit.

>importing muzzies in bulk
source on that you dumb sheep?

I don't mind businesses doing this on their own property. Having homeless sleeping all over your property is real bad for business and they aren't really in a position to fix the problem properly.

Pidgeon spikes below the overpass is just the city being dicks though.

Its no surprise the US homeless population exploded after, in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, our mental health system of asylums were dismantled. For sure, some asylums were terrible places, but we actually had a system to take the mentally ill, and it was a system we could have expanded and changed.

Instead, we got rid of it, and around 30% of homeless people are mentally ill, with something like 50% having had problems in the past.

Nixon and Reagan treated drugs like a criminal issue when it needed to be a mental health, public health, and public safety issue. We flooded our prisons with drug users, and we have so damn many that many places give lenient sentences out for EVERYTHING now because they don't have any room. I'm talking places like Chicago giving lenient sentences for burglary and assault, simply because their prisons are full to the brim of drug users.

This problem is killing our institutions.

>people don't enjoy being homeless
more than finding a job

>What do you think of this?

It's a great idea

>Do you support it?

See above

>general view of the homeless?

Fuck them, we spend million of dollars a year on these leaches and the reward is not worth it. When we stop ALL over seas humanitarian assistance, when we stop ALL refugees from coming onto our soil, and when we curb immigration to a minimum. Then maybe I'd say let's help these fuckers.

You can't help those who aren't willing to help themselves

>IM HOMELESS BOY IS THAT FUN!
>THE GOVERNMENT GAVE ME A HOME.
>I'M NOT GONNA WORK A SINGLE DAY IN MY LIFE BECAUSE IT TOTALLY DONT WANT BETTER FOR MYSELF!
What do you think homeless people enjoy being poor, enjoy not having a home, you think they don't wanna get out of the situation they're in? Stop speaking about the struggles of others when you clearly haven't struggled a day in your life.

As someone who was homeless for a while, I have no sympathy for any of them. The only way to become homeless nowadays is to constantly make terrible decisions. Fuck subsidizing those sort of people.

>"The only way to become homeless nowadays is to constantly make terrible decisions."
GOOD GOY IT'S NOT LIKE 2008 DIDN'T CAUSE A MASSIVE RISE IN FORECLOSURE AND HOMELESSNESS.

This is actually one of the more rational solutions

They're crazy and drug-addicted or drunk. I live in the city and interact with them every day. I have no sympathy left for the homeless, because they deserve everything they get, even the few that aren't black.

I'm perfectly happy with it. The homeless for the most part are fucking scum.
My sister was homeless for a while, my uncle was homeless in NY for YEARS. Neither worked a day in their lives. She's an enormous cunt that lived with tons of boyfriends over the years who supported her, never married them because they were 'boring'. Did assloads of drugs, never showed up on time for anything in the history of ever, blamed everyone else for not 'helping' her enough (ie giving her more free shit).
Uncle was just a druggie who didn't want to work and was perfectly happy being homeless.

Both of them were offered places to live, government housing, halfway houses, etc. The only condition was they had to not be complete pieces of shit and actually get jobs. Neither was okay with that.

My sister shat out a kid now so she got free government housing without needing to get a job and she can do whatever she wants now. Great.

>be walking near business
>be reading text message
>suddenly trip on something
>fall forward onto rows of concrete spikes
>break ribs, fracture skull
>sue

How do you solve the liability issue with something like this?

>retard falls on spikes on private property
his fault for being an idiot.
there are no liability issues for this, save the persons' liability to his own safety

This. It's easy for homeless people to just find an old mattress or some shit

Homeless need to fuck off and niggers need to fuck off.

>won't solve the problem
it will, if the problem is that homeless people shit on your property

yeah you can just put dangerous spikes everywhere you want.

My property my choice. You choose to trip and break your ribs and skull on them that's your fault, and has nothing to do with me.

people get sued by robbers for getting shot breaking into house and get payed.

If you have the money to put up these spikes, you most likely have the money to hire a non state appointed lawyer.

Please stop posting this urban legend.

Put them in a camp in Idaho a labor camp. And if they work correctly they'll get heroin and booze tickets like Chuck E. Cheese

jury is going to go with the guy that destroyed his face on your death trap of spikes.

I travel around the country showing horses and the place with one of the worst bum problems is fucking Springfield, IL. It is insane, their bum to corner ratio is like 3:1

fuck the homeless, kill them all

No, the jury will go with the lawyer who clearly points out that it was the victims' fault for not looking in front of him. Who do you think gets the fault in cases where the victim falls in an open manhole that is surrounded by signs and flashing lights? The people who put up the warnings or the retard who fell in it and broke his legs?

This is why the pill in necessary

you see signs and flashing lights anywhere?

The only homeless/street sleepers in the uK are addicts.

They ruin most town centres, I live in reading and this short meth head with a beard asks me for change every single time I go to the town centre

That's not the point. The point is the responsibility does not rely on the guy who augments his property the way he sees fit. The responsibility relies on the victim for failing to observe his surroundings.

It makes perfect sense to prevent people from congregating in dangerous areas like underpasses between busy roads. Private owners/businesses have every right to take measures to prevent people from using their properties without consent too.
In Britain there are shelters and help for anyone who finds themselves homeless. We're not Brasil. There's no excuse for it.
More often than not this is preventing professional begging teams of eastern euro gypsy women and their sprogs from pestering people on the street.

I don't have the solution but I do know this:

This is America and we don't let Americans die in the streets no matter what their personal failures have been.

Many homeless are vets.

You take care of your people in a humane way, especially the ones in trouble, again, even if it is of their own doing.

We are nothing if we don't keep our Christian values. This has nothing to do with muh socialism. We either do it through gov't or charity, but we do not let them die.

Spikes only push the problem and are massively hypocritical for the lefties that put them there.

The oncoming massive reduction in housing construction costs due to 3D printing should help.

property developers wont just stand by and allow mass 3d development of housing.

They will keep making small box houses in small numbers to keep prices high.

What's this? The people who can live their entire adult lives out of caravans made of garbage and stolen shopping carts.... Got scrap pieces of plywood and went right back to sleeping in the spiked-areas?!

HOW CAN THIS BE?! THE SPIKES ALWAYS STOPPED SONIC!

it can't be legal our defensible in court to place stuff out of dungeon keeper everywhere in public.

Excellent reading comprehension and memory.

Why don't we make them like 100 times bigger and place them on the border to stop Muslims?

No, make them taller and thinner, and hang the muslims on them.

>they fuck off
>and come back a week later

Build these spikes, BUT build homeless shelters that let in people who are not on drugs/drunk.

carrot and stick

>short meth head with a beard asks me for change every single time I go to the town centre
I know that guy.

I'm fine with it if it's done close to the marketplace entrances (not around the entire building). Tired as fuck of these beggar sitting near the entrances being annoying as fuck. FUCK!

I don't agree with this method at all, but saying giving the homeless money would get rid of them is the same as saying feeding birds would get rid of the birds.

There werent homeless people before, not like the ones we see. Before it was people who lost their home from gambling. But then we all had the brilliant idea to shut down the insane asylums and let all the crazy people roam free. Now they sleep outside and yell at me for not giving them change.
Most homeless people simply lack the mental capacity and social skills to hold down a job and maintain a house. They should be looked after in a facility and heavily sedated until they die.

Same with Canadian natives

Most people are homeless because they chose to be homeless. They refuse shelters, public housing, etc. My co-worker was a social worker and tells me this shit. They are just too dumb and too mentally unstable to ever change their way of life.

Those who can need not concern themselves with those who can not. You're unironically a leftist if you have any problems with these spikes.

Most homeless people are white males too and that demographic gets zero help from our government.

This is the truth. The exploding homeless population in the US can be directly attributed to Reagan closing down state run asylums. Whenever you see some homeless person babbling to themselves with shit in their pants, you can thank that faggot Reagan.

>implying bums have this amount of foresight

They wouldn't be homeless in the first place if such was the case

Looks dangerous. What if you fall on it?

Its a problem from the male iq bell curve. More geniuses and more drooling retards. Even with help, they would squander it, just like natives.

>shut down insane asylums

They also made it really difficult to lock some crazy asshole up against their will no matter how nuts they are. We need to bring back straitjackets and lobotomies for some of these shitbags.

Considering that the homeless want to be homeless, I don't know what kind of solution would make sense, except to gas them or jail them. In Toronto, the homeless all seem to be well-fed and on some kind of an extended camping trip. They make quite a bit panhandling, certainly more than minimum wage. We just need to ban the lifestyle.

>implying you should leave the burglar alive in the first place
If he's not around to press more charges,then good.
