This is the Savyolovskaya station in Moscow. I should clarify that I did not take this picture - and I am not sure who has because reverse search just yields people re-posting it. It’s been one of my fave liminal space pics for a while though.
Bro, I live in America okay? There’s no federal law mandating benches be awful. These are all local laws or city ordinances voted for by citizens who are unsympathetic to the homeless.
I am not defending shit dude. I am just saying to put the blame in the right place. The US government didn’t remove benches like the original commenter said, it’s the local citizens who’ve done it or convinced their city to do it.
Going the same way in the UK. London is the only city with a useful underground rail network and those stations are full of ads and are mostly badly designed
Damn, this is a great shot. What station is this if you don’t mind me asking?

Ah, thanks for the info and for sharing it anyways!
You’re welcome!
That is the Savyolovskaya Metro station in Moscow, Russia.
It’s a beautiful and minimal station
It really is quite beautiful. Wish we had more of these in the States but it’s looking like we’ll never give up our cars.
US government: best i can do is remove benches, so homeless people can’t sleep in it. take it or leave it 😉
That’s more just shitty and ineffective local town governments tbh.
Have you been to literally any american city? This isn’t something that’s just done by a few bad apples it’s pervasive.
Just look at the horrific state of NYC stations. Even the “best” ones are in a pretty dire state.

I don’t understand why you’re defending this shit. Also, that’s still the US gov’s fault.

yeah, i had no idea which part of the government decides it. just read about it about a month ago
