La Sombrita / "Little Shade" is an innovative alternative to traditional bus stops.
Easily installed and at a low price of $10,000 (compared to the traditional $50,000 required for a bus stop).
La Sombrita provides shade during the day and light during the night via a solar-powered light.
Designed by women and for women, on behalf of the Department of Transporation's Gender Equity Action Plan, the project aims to make female riders feel safer.
Another angIe.

Holy fuck. 10 grand for this. I'm never paying taxes again.
why would this make anyone feel safer than the version right next to it in , which is nothing more than a street sign that says "the number 16 bus stops here"?
i don't know
I guess when you're in an enclosed space that's 100 square feet total, then you're more inclined to get robbed or groped?
Someone else make more sense of this if you think it's possible
that should be fourty dollars not ten thousand does the other nine thousand fifty go towards paying for bots to boost her onlyfans
They need to charge $10k so they can employ all these women as designers.
And no bench?? Id rather run the risk of getting raped than break my back trying to squeeze myself under this sad excuse of a roof.
>LA
>no attempt at weather protection
let's be honest, this is just another thinly veiled anti-homelessness device.
America is a collapsing kleptocracy. It cares more about seeming virtuous and innovative than actually being virtuous and innovative. La Sombrita is a joke.
>>LA
>>no attempt at weather protection
The weather is literally the least dangerous part of LA
>solar-powered lighting
More like a solar-powered rape spotlight
Why don't we treat women like property again? it should be clear to everyone now that If foids ran society we'd all be living in caves.
>10 000 dollars
>nowhere to sit
>just a bent sheet of holey metal
>No bench
>Doesn't block the sun
This is straight-up an anti-homeless design disguised as gender equality so that idiot leftists eat it up without question.
>"It's 1/5th the cost but we made it 1/10th the size, so only one person can stand under it. And it won't keep you dry if it rains. And our shitty solar-powered light will be broken or stolen the first week. WE ARE WOMYN HEAR US ROAR!!!!"
I dont even know wtf im looking at yo
This provides no shade
Stop being misogynistic anon
I know that queen in the photo. Hey did one of you guys post this?
>female-designed
>man made

>man drives the bus
>man maintains the bus
>b-but listen sisters this is a victory for womyn!
>$10k
I could build something better than that in a weekend with less than $400 in lumber and steel, this is some grift. Pic related cost about $550.
Cool treehouse m8
You would know better than me, but I wanna say $400 is still too optimistic. I know that perforated metal stick thing costs $30 at home depot
Its for deer hunting but you're right it IS a good treehouse.
>I know that perforated metal stick thing costs $30 at home depot
You're right but why perforate it? I was thinking more along the lines of an angled tin roof, with 4 posts like an outdoor shed. Tin doesnt rust, its cheap and itd work well.
>You're right but why perforate it?
The only thing I can think of in their defense is MAYBE if it was any larger and wasn't perforated...homeless people would sleep under it, and they don't want that?
>make things worse for the working poor so the occasional homeless cant benefit from it
Hahaha I didnt even consider that angle thank you thats even worse.
>>make things worse for the working poor so the occasional homeless cant benefit from it
>Hahaha I didnt even consider that angle thank you thats even worse.
They should build in something that shoots shotgun blasts at homeless people. That would be a good feature.
>1million lawsuit when it falls on someone
Put more steel in it and spikes on the bottom to minimize survivors.
You could hire 3 mexican guys on craigslist to build something bigger and better for a 1/10th of the cost lmao
>10 grand
Taxes are a fucking scam.
>$50,000 required for a bus stop
What? To build a proper bus stop should cost at most $5000. That's retarded.
You have no idea
kek it's all so bloated and corrupt. Oh well.
This is nothing. LA County once built "micro homes" for the homeless, to the cost of millions. I worked out the price per square foot of construction to be higher than luxury real estate in manhattan.
I don't get it, if I was doing something like this I wouldn't want my picture in a news story. Or maybe it's a gangster move like robbing the 7-11 barefaced.
Like are they really that proud? I'd be embarrassed to be tied to this.
If safety mattered they could use that new uber like app where the drivers carry guns.
>Designed by women and for women
>it's just a mesh board
Women only want one thing and it's fucking confusing.
So it's smaller, only 1 peeron can fit in, doesn't shield from rain either. Basically useless, it doesn't matter it's cheaper if it doesn't even do it's job...
