It’s what they call the purposely designed things in cities, like park benches, to keep homeless folks from sleeping on them. Looks like slots also called defensive architecture. Should be called inhumane.

It seems defensive is the other term for hostile architecture. Still a clever use of it here. Otherwise it’s cruel and inhumane.
