The City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, Gloria, et. al will weigh in on the constitutionality of both the Blake v. City of Grants Pass and Martin v. Boise decisions. The stakes are high.

Prior to the zeitgeist of the term “Hostile Architecture” there was a long history of exclusionary and defensive design.

Societies have since found far more subtle ways to tell people they are not welcome in a space.
