[INST] Are homeless spikes sharp enough to injure anyone who tries to sleep on them? [/INST]Humans can be injured by them, but it is unlikely because their surface is much smaller than the average human hand.  If the spikes do pierce skin, they usually only cause pain.  It is more likely that the spike would get caught in a piece of clothing than penetrate it.</s>[INST] Should they be sharper so they can mortally would homeless people? [/INST]That seems to me to be a pretty messed up and emotionally driven perspective, and you’d be causing serious suffering for very little gain.</s>[INST] Isn't their purpose to reduce homelessness? [/INST]
Actually, their purpose is to discourage people from occupying certain places, but they do not address the root causes of homelessness. A more effective approach would be to implement solutions that tackle the underlying issues, such as lack of affordable housing and support services. If you're interested, I can provide more information about these strategies.
Yes, but that doesn't mean that only bad solutions are acceptable.
