Why even read left wing articles if they upset you?
My take is that if the public space was skateboarder and homeless friendly, the author could easily write a similar article on how that scares [insert other victim group] away from the public space.
As for why it is written that way, Kling's book The Three Languages of Politics is a good explanation. The left likes to think in oppressed verses oppressor terms.

There a difference between not designing for being homeless friendly and designing spikes to prevent homeless people from sleeping in the area.
