    That reminds me of three cities I used to frequent. You could predict their economic and political situation based on the way desire paths were being handled.

    • Place 1: poor, left-wing. Nothing, the desire paths were left alone.
    • Place 2: rich, left-wing. Desire paths were nicely paved over.
    • Place 3: rich, right-wing. They placed big branches on a desire path to block it. After people started climbing over them, they fell a tree on it.

      What about poor, right wing? I think we need a political compass for desire paths.

          🎵Don’t it always seem to go,

          That ya don’t know whatcha got,

          Till it’s gone,

          They paved Paradise,

          Put up a parking lot🎵
