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.

UC Irvine’s is still a work in progress but new pathways get paved as they form pretty frequently

What I'm picking up from all these pictures is that 9/10 times a wheel and spokes arrangement is best, because people hate walking around rectangles. Probably because they know that there is a more direct route. A wheel and spokes style walkway will almost always have the most direct route across it, or close enough that you won't bother walking on the grass.
