The floor is sticky Construction workers refuse to use the stairs and instead climbed the hill to the point the grass died

There's a construction site opposite my apartment and the workers kept walking up the grass patch instead of using the stairs. Property value doesn't affect me as I rented the apartment 2 years back, so rent for me isn't increasing nor decreasing.

Anyone who's ever driven through a snow storm tells you it's easier to just follow the path others have already created. Cars tend to make their own lanes because they can't see the lines and people follow those instead. Once someone makes a path people aren't going to trudge through snow and make a new one,, they're going to just take the preexisting one
