Bench with center armrest [01]

Bench with a cernter armrest on the boardwalk in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This bench bothered me because the center armrest had been added as a retrofit, presumably to keep the homeless from sleeping on them – a textbook example of hostile design. I have photos of these same benches from earlier visits, and as recently as 2008, the center armrest was not present. The retrofit part is what especially bothers me, because it’s not like these were new benches, and that’s how they came. These were deliberately modified after having been in place for a number of years, i.e. someone had to specifically think to do this and then spend money to implement the modification solely to inconvenience people.
