Private initiatives
A rare outcry, however. Because, for a good fifteen years, anti-homeless devices have constantly invaded our cities. Armrests in the middle of the benches, concrete studs, annoying lighting, metal bars, cactus gardens, inclined planes, these systems have gradually appeared in front of stores or on the porches of major world cities. In the vast majority of cases, it is private companies that equip themselves with anti-homeless furniture, because the practice is too controversial for municipalities. In Argenteuil, in 2007, the mayor of the city had to give up his brilliant idea: a smelly chemical product.
In Paris, devices to repel the homeless are now popping up everywhere. The first company to be launched was the RATP, with its almost suspended benches made up of two metal bars, on which it is impossible to lie down. But without ever recognizing it clearly: the homeless pushers are presented above all as "design".
