That's curious, I find that statement so slimy I'm afraid to slip on it.
It tries to misdirect the conversation by painting the criticism as "not design to accommodate the homeless", when it actually was "don't design to purposefully exclude the homeless", which their design does at the expense of being worse for non-homeless people too (everyone may need to lie down sometimes).
It also indirectly portraits anything done to ameliorate a social ill negatively, which is a shitty thing to do.
Fuck me, that statement makes me angry. At least "just doing my job" is honest, now I'm hoping they go bankrupt.
- lobotryas 8y agoI think your thought process is taking you for a ride. The designer’s answer (as self-serving as it may be) says that we should work to fix the root causes of homelessness and not just empower it.

- icebraining 8y agoWhich is the whole misdirection I'm talking. Nobody criticized them for not "empowering homelessness".
