For the record, this is not just shitty for anyone who needs wheels to get around.

This would be HELL for my cane.

I don’t use forearm crutches, but I suspect it would also be hell for that type of mobility device.

Same for walkers.

Same for anyone with limited vision.

Almost every single instance of hostile architecture meant to gentrify a place or keep out “undesirables” ends up hurting disabled folks too.

And that’s intentional. Because disabled folks absolutely fall under the “needs extra time/care”, unless the companies can get away with it

Wtf is the problem with skateboards to begin with

Skateboards let people have fun outside without spending money (except occasionally on upgrading the board). Oh, and some people just hate teens congregating for any reason.

Adults complain that “kids never go outside nowadays”, meanwhile the reason is because adults would harass them whenever they do.

A different image of the same latticework as in the original image, however it clearly shows that it is not a pathway nor an example of hostile architecture.ALT

Hey so this post is actually extremely inaccurate.

Thanks to a follower of mine pointing it out it was discovered/shown that those latticeworks are actually for water retention placed in key parts of the park, Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City. They are not meant as walkways and as can be shown in the above picture there are clearly accessible pathways which are the actual paths.

While hostile architecture is always very much a thing to be on the lookout for, sadly sometimes we just gotta remember the ancient texts:

A gif of Buster from the old PBS cartoon, Arthur, saying "You really think people would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?"ALT

Reblogging because I’m fairly certain I blogged this previously and the new info ABSOLUTELY needs to be shared! We really need MORE architecture like this in concrete jungles to help allow water to return to the ground instead of into the sewer system.

The utter relief when you see something inaccurate and you’re scrolling going no…no! And then just when you’re about to have to resign yourself to writing a response or pretending you never saw this you see it’s already been handled.
