A full bench!? I miss benches that made sense instead of the hostile architecture ones popping up.

We were looking after someones dog for a week and we have a big yard for our dogs. This dog and one of ours got on so well they would chase each around the yard for hours, so much that after a week there was a desire path race track formed with noticeable banks around the corners and everything.

I like how the path curves behind the bench after the bench goes up like people are choosing not to walk in front of people sitting on the bench.
Until the fuckers added another 2m/6ft to the walk by putting in the trashcan...
Image where the bush fence appears, there should be a faint path near the road, those who don't want to hop over/wreck the bush but it should be gone once the path through the bush is open.
I heard Finnish municipalities do studies when it's newly snowed to check where the desired footpath goes by looking at tracks in the snow. It avoids that issue in the image
That certainly speeds up the process so they can Finnish early.
They don’t wanna be Russian around.
Otherwise there's Norway they'll be done in time
My takeaway from this is that I can spawn park benches and greenery by walking on the grass.
That's why there are all those "keep off the grass" signs. If people just walked all over the grass willy-nilly we'd soon be knee deep in benches and bins, and nobody wants that.

The homeless do.

All I see here is people tricking the government into putting in a nice little micropark.
Local discounter had something like this, they just installed a hedge AND a fence. Really disenchanting. Not going there anymore.
Well I moved. But they cheated.
Fences don't always work, I saw one go up and soon had a hole in it. Turns out deer are pretty persistent and willing to break them. Paths are not just used by people.
a bit of an extreme reaction to a hedge AND a fence, but I'll allow it.
I'm playing the game on a bigger scale now
a hedge AND a fence
Cordless power tools are really good these days.
There's been locations in the past where the decision was made to initially just build the minimum paths for handicap access and etc and then wait for the desire paths to form to decide where to put the rest of them. Great idea really. The apartment complex started plowing the one that goes from my building to the gas station.
That's actually brilliant
Least resistance or classic human defiance?
The last path doesn't match the prior paths.
The desire path curved towards the road crossing, they paved a straight path pointing away from the crossing, new curved desire path formed by people crossing the road
No, but that's the joke.
Humans will always take the perceived shortcut, regardless of whatever proper path is available.
This is great!
it's almost like humans don't move like a rook (car)
This gives me huge canvas vibes because that was happening a lot there. Haha (It was called canvas, right? The event where you place a pixel every so often.)
Life is like this
