I live so I love

For anyone who may need this

Desire paths are just the best human invention because cities will spend millions on sidewalks and yet. Our little foraging brains will think ‘too far cut thru grass for food’ and others will be like ‘other human have good idea. I follow’ until there’s a beaten path when there’s perfectly acceptable sidewalks to either side

I was told that after laying out new buildings at Oklahoma State University a few decades ago, they held off on both sod and walkways for several months. People complained mightily about the dirt and occasional mud, but then the construction crews came back in and put paths along all the worn areas and sod where no one had walked. After that, no more complaints and the paths exactly matched where people wanted to walk.

That's the only reasonable way how to build paths. No matter how great right angles look like, people won't follow the grid. We are not a packman.

might fuck around and walk into a thick fog and never return idk
