We have witnessed many examples of hostile architecture in the five cities visited so far on the Local Power Tour - Los Angeles, Sacramento, Seattle, Miami and Atlanta. Most all the cities placed boulders throughout underpasses or in front of city buildings, have benches with bars in the middle, and/or use eco blocks to prevent RVs from stopping and parking.
Congress finally reached a rare, bipartisan miracle to solve the housing crisis. The catch? The agency responsible for actually implementing it just had its workforce gutted by DOGE. Now, Washington is discovering that you can’t build a 21st-century housing revolution when there’s nobody left to process the paperwork.
