I saw plenty in Warsaw and Wrocław, mostly around the business districts and new neighborhoods

But in general I always thought this „anti-homeless infrastructure” trend was an American thing. At least I haven’t seen something as actively hostile as this.

That’s not anti homeless, it’s pro ADA inclusion. Those are designed for folks with limited mobility who use wheelchairs. The idea is that they shouldn’t just be awkwardly placed at the end of benches and tables.

Fantastic, now they can awkwardly sit significantly further forward than everyone else.
