I wonder why noone simply vandalizes it.

It would be funny if someone with an angle grinder came to the public bench and cut off the "arm rests" that you can't even rest your arm on because their only purpose is to prevent homeless from sleeping on a bench that literally noone uses at night anyway.

The Camden bench looks like it should be possible to design a nice wooden seating surface for it that is just placed on top with no additional fastening required. Having all these edges on top will help keeping it in place.
How the heck is “fluffy and sticky thin toilet paper to prevent the clogging of toilet sewers” hostile architecture. It’s toilet paper (a consumable) and sewerage systems (municipal infrastructure)…

I genuinely don’t get it. I think they got carried away with the list of examples.

It's complete horseshit because public toilets contribute a statistically insignificant amount of sewage to the sewage system.

And it is horseshit not bullshit because the people offering it care that people like you buy it. If it was bullshit, they wouldn't actually care if people like you buy it.

And it has to be horseshit because unaffected people aren't going to buy into the idea of toilets having poor toilet paper just to make using them suck.
