The device, affixed underneath the John Street bridge, emits a high-frequency sound that's meant to discourage loitering in the area.

The real story here is not the device, but why the hell do we have so many homeless??? That is where we need to start if we want to solve the problem. This is a band-aid.
Stop making so easy to be homeless
Exactly. Address the housing crisis and rising unaffordability issue, not put a band-aid and sweep the problems under the rug
@Po101080 that’s not what I meant
Any sounds over 10k Hz are not pleasant at all…
Has anyone been to oshawa in the last 2 years lol this sound thing will do absolutely nothing ask me I’d rather them be under the bridge so we no where they are now where are they downtown ?
Now all the deaf homeless won’t need to worry about competition.
so..they can break down the” speakers” ?
Disgusting. How about a real solution to homelessness?
this is great and need to be install under every bridge.
Your house
Lets see how long before it’s filled with expanding foam.
Wow, spending money to fight the homeless instead of helping them. We need more affordable housing and social programs not more speakers.
Those programs are what cause homelessness.
We need a Slime Minister deterring device .
where can i buy something like that
0:31 is that a body? lol wtf?. My question, does this device work with Racoons and Squirrels?
Instead of taking about this should be taking about the problem
Send them to BC. Perfect solution
These things work…
Tor ture the homeless .
How humanitarian.
Deplorable.
Just pipe Truditlers voice through those speakers.
Even the animals will flee.
Thinking of both sides, ultimately I find it cruel.
I would have. Said it was for the birds. The bird crap can eat at the cement over the years. Change it to a falcon scream every minute or so.
Sounds almost as irritating as Trudeau singing at a funeral
Similar to rat repellent sound devices but at least these work.
