    I mean, couldn't people still just sleep between the barriers? Hey, now they'll have more privacy!

    Put a tarp over the top and you've got a minimalist apartment.

    Well, the top is an art installation called “Rain”.

    The concrete barriers were placed there to deter homeless encampments - so yes hostile for sure!

    Huge improvement on when it was a completely pitch black homeless encampment

    Swords of Revealing Light and a Concrete Barricade? Someone doesn't want through traffic.

    Never mind those barriers, wtf is up with that ceiling? It’s like an ancient booby trap where the spiked ceiling slowly comes down on you, crushing you.

    Lower Georgetown under the key bridge overpass? Or somewhere else in the city? Moves away 4 years ago and sometimes miss it. Not much tho

    "Mom! I need that ice cream from that ice cream truck over there ... right now!!!"

    "Look around you. There are a few dozen kids who were demanding just like you and now look!" the Mom points at one of the concrete barriers on the sidewalk.

    Huh dont these barriers provide better shelter then open space? And the top is art, ugly art yes but not hostile.
