Man. I don't know if those are better or worse than deterrent spikes. On the one hand, they're rounded. On the other hand though, they're absolutely massive.

    It's a shame to see certain places (cough Australia cough) still implementing homelessness deterrent measures like sprinkler systems and these . . . instead of spending money trying to help people who need it.

I agree whole heartedly. It's a really messed up world we live in when we think it's alright to criminalize the behaviors of a segment of society that can't really get much lower.
