Mike Davis' observation of a "conscious hardening of the city surface against the poor" suggests deliberate measures to make certain public spaces more inhospitable to homeless individuals. Benches at bus stops that are designed to prevent sleeping are an example of this. Freeways and large public parks are not necessarily designed to exclude the poor, and homeless shelters are meant to provide assistance rather than exclusion.
