the link no longer works.
where i live, we have homeless, but they're not aggressive at all. they're pretty peaceable folk, actually(i went fishing with a couple when i was in high school). i've given money to a couple; i see one regularly at the hardees i used to work at.
i have seen them multiply in the area. where i used to never see them out on the medians at stoplights and whatnot, now i see them all the time. the job market being what it is, and the prescription med abuse going through the roof pretty much everywhere(my stepbrother was locked up for 30+ years for robbing pharmacies of adderall, and we've had other family members and friends who regularly abuse meds when mixed with the wrong girlfriends), this kind of thing is going to become rampant. it's due to the stupid pharmaceutical companies pushing out a drug every other week(and not to mention the countless ****ing commercials pushing this ****); it's due to human stupidity(regarding ****ty drug use and behavior); it's due to overpopulation(regarding the job market's ever-worsening environment); it's due to plain old human laziness, as well.
as far as installing spikes to deter people, it must've become one hell of an issue, for them to go that far. short of beating them out of your way. i can see getting quite perturbed over continually having to step over people, or having to smell people who rarely bathe, or dealing with any waste or trash they might leave behind. apparently, the people in this scenario are sick of homeless to the point to where they no longer view them as even people; but just another vermin to keep away from your home.
like i said, the homeless here are much less trouble. them begging for money has taken a back seat to various foundations begging for money every time you go out to eat, or go shopping at a supermarket. it's gotten to where it's so bad, that if you step foot outside your door, you WILL be asked to donate to someone or something.
if you ask me, that's a pretty bad portent, of what's to come.

I've just read some activists poured concrete on the spikes in front of a market and the company decided to remove them for good.
