Ha… the po po dun care. They seriously don’t. They have let so so so much worse than this slide. I won’t go into it but the cops and the justice system are absolutely fucked.
It seems that to protect myself I must become what I hate… a Karen. :( And morally it is a big deal to me. Normally I’m on the side of the homeless and opposed to hostile architecture.
Ideas
I considered bleach, orange cleaner, liquid ass, and the cat poo is another good idea… but I don’t want to make him sick or ruin his clothes. I just want him to not do the damn things.I tried to unbolt the middle 3 slats of the bench to leave it functional yet inconvenient for long periods of sitting or sleeping, but the ends of the bolts are capped or hammered so the nuts won’t come off over the end. I could use a file but it would take a while and I’d be very awkwardly trying to avoid an actual evil Karen neighbour’s camera.
I tried to see if I could find one of those bolt on armrests that go in the middle of the bench but they don’t seem to be sold in Australia.
I’m looking at a solar powered floodlight that goes on with motion sensors but will have to work out how to attach it up high without it being a “fixture”. (Which could get me in trouble or evicted.)
I’ve got an actually evil neighbour who will take pictures and complain. She’s almost had me evicted for installing security cameras before, and I was denied permission for cat proofing because she’d complain, so yeah. Situation here is fucked.
I hoped these high conflict people would end up fighting each other but so far no luck.
If I had the financial security I’d be out of this godforsaken shithole years ago. It’s complicated
You don’t want to get into it. She starts physical confrontations and then plays victim, often successfully. I said Karen but that’s only now she’s come to some attention and dialed it back - I should have said Methany.
How far are you willing to go? Because I've seen someone super glue bits of broken glass bottle to a fence to stop people from climbing over.
Trying not to get myself in legal trouble. Also it’s not set up so I can do that unfortunately.
