Yes it is really this bad and in a lot of cities there is even anti homeless architecture being built. Entire cities in the United States basically got turned into suburbs and roads overnight. For many Americans they cannot even walk outside their neighborhood without having the police get called on them in their own suburban sprawl or getting a gun legally pulled on them and potentially legally killed with no recourse on the shooter. This country is hell on Earth minus our theme parks and local parks and some of the cities that still exist normally today.
What is "anti-homeless architecture"? Genuine question.
Edit: Also, thanks for the detailed answer.
It's called hostile architecture and it's things like arm rests in the middle of a bench so you can't lie down on it, or sloped windowsills so you can't sit there.
I once saw a bench with a statue of a person sleeping on it. Wtf?
"To prevent the unsightly possibility of someone sleeping on this bench, we should put a statue of someone sleeping on this bench! Leave the useless bench there but also fuck you!"
Fuck. That.
