Desire paths Desire paths can be paths created as a consequence of erosion caused by human or animal foot-fall or traffic. The paths usually represent the shortest or most easily navigated routes between origins and destinations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path

It suggests that whoever keeps trying to force for the pathing is an idiot
But even when they caved and paved the desire path (good), a new desire path was created.
Look at the original desire path it goes to the corner the paved path is offset 30 degrees because people want to access the crosswalk not the sidewalk then the crosswalk
Whoever was trying to force it was an idiot, and people are savages.
(Although I actually question if it would end this way)
It suggests that they put it too far to the left.
it shows that people tend to make things too straight and geometric, when they should instead be curvy and organic.
Yeah, but if you make things too curvy they no longer fit together well. And can be hard to build depending on the construction methods used.
Any medieval city builder that has transport networks I usually have my central hubs looking like I modeled them after a methed up Spidermans jizz after giving webslinging from his dick a try.
It starts just like this comic tho

These are, in fact, called 'lust lanes'.
Passionate pathways
Impulse Indicators
Yearning lanes

these are called "jesus fuck i have to walk 800m to reach a place that is 400m from my house, i'll be fucked if i'm following the footways and making that 900m"
These are called desire paths.
which is also the name of the comunity to which it was posted 🎉
Some people choose to look at the comments rather than the official look-at-the-community route.
I know, just fulfilling other's wishes.
Maybe folks just want another bench and bin!
Desire Paths
I'm pretty sure the members of a community called desire paths know that these are called desire paths
This is just like saying someone's name to them during sex.
That's why I always say someone else's name. Keeps things spicy.
I bet you just say your own name.
Slowly, pronouncing every syllable like it is Skyrim and you are executing a shout.
