Oculus at Ground Zero in New York City

The Oculus appears to be some sort of combination of an overpriced art museum, high-end Westfield-branded shopping mall, transit hub, and 9/11 memorial. It cost taxpayers four billion dollars to construct.

Its unpleasant design includes a lack of seating, closed public restrooms at night, and tons of security guards. Worst of all is the intermittent alarm-ringing and the seizure-inducing flashing lights. As a transit hub, the structure must remain open 24 hours. Unpleasant design features make the place an unlikely spot for the homeless to rest their heads.
