10 Manipulative And Tricky Ways Cities Control Your Behavior

Engineers around the world have had enough of the nonsense and are taking a stand against crime and destruction!

Incorporating small yet mighty changes within city structures, they’re controlling with an iron fist. 

Follow the lay of the land … or else.

1. Benches? They’re no longer places to sit.

Preventing the homeless population from dozing off in public, this particular bench design doubles as a place to lean. Elderly citizens are clearly the biggest fans …

2. Did we mention armrests aren’t meant for your arms?

This seemingly “thoughtful” separator is actually anything but. Forcing “frisky couples” to get a room, these arms rests also tell the homeless to take a hike overnight.

3. Think you’re not going to recycle? Think again.

These trash bins have slits instead of holes. Essentially, they force the population to become eco-friendly. Three unique compartments from within separate waste from recyclables. P.S. … they actually work.

4. Say sayonara to slumbers under the bridges.

Slabs of tiny “concrete pyramids” are replacing cement floors under major bridges and overpasses. Care for to take a nap, right?

5. Some cities control with a “ripple effect.”

Light poles are now being outfitted with sheets of rippled metal. No stickers, staples, or public notices here. Sorry folks.
