"Look at this cool thing I found!" It can just be nice to share stuff with other people. There doesn't need to be a deeper reason, it's a function of humans being social animals.

This includes motivations such as wanting to discuss the thing with other people, to compare your own view with theirs, or simply to satisfy the need to yell at someone.

Edit: typo

I assume what you're implying is that you can't put a tent there. Okay, why not fucking say that then? Homeless people around here rarely use tents, for reasons that I do not know because I am privileged enough to not be homeless, and they could probably just arrange their stuff around those shapes, put their mattress between them and go to sleep - which is why "tent" isn't the first thing that popped into my head.

Thank you for making me jump through hoops to understand a thing.

Right? It looks like there was an attempt (gold star) at hostility but they still wanted it to look somewhat aesthetically pleasing and mostly forgot about the hostile part? Or maybe I'm just not seeing most of the hostile part, that's what I'm trying to figure out.

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to watch this the second I can get my hook on it but I'd really prefer (and would pay for) a decent MotU movie, even if it's "just" good weird.

It’s hard to believe you’re not trolling.

I swear I'm not. It's entirely possible that I'm being slow, but I'm really just trying to understand so I can identify these things better in the future. Because I seriously don't get it, there's still plenty of room to lie down between them?

There's good weird and bad weird. This seems to be going in the bad weird direction.

I feel like we're talking past each other. I'm wondering how the weird human-shaped things added on top of the vents constitute hostile architecture - how are they meant to to discourage people from sleeping there? This is me trying to learn, I'm very aware that sleeping on vents isn't exactly comfortable but how do these things make it less so?

Good lord, this looks impossible to keep clean.

The vents are still accessible though? And you have these nifty mannequins to hang your stuff?

Edit: honest question, possibly unnecessary joke.

Doctor Who subscribes more to TNG like episode titles (like Explosion which is about an explosion): Space Babies is about space babies, in The Angels Take Manhattan the angels are in Manhattan, The Meddling Monk is about a monk who meddles, in The End of the World the world ends, in It Takes You Away there is a frog that takes you away, in Boom things go boom.

That's not very good for your skin, Bru- Batsy.
