The really sad part is that the iron ring art installation is used as a "secret" smoke spot and is often completely littered with butts and trash. I would hope that if more folks knew what that spot was they would treat it with more respect.
JeanMarc so how about sports injuries? If someone CHOOSES to go mountain bike riding on a dangerous trail, or falls off the cliff they're climbing, or wrecks their knees running, why is it society's responsibility any more than the costs that might accrue from lack of exercise? How is it morally differentt, other than a notion of "ew"?
Someone trying to sneak in wouldn't draw attention to themselves by assertively refusing to answer questions, citing constitutional verbiage and filming it all, so obviously the folks that do must be citizens. Which now creates a perfect strategy. See how we ruin things?
In parts of Shanghai, they have something like this. There are the road lanes for cars, trucks etc., and sidewalks for pedestrians, and then a wide curbed-off lane for things in between. Bikes, mopeds, pedicab type vehicles, people pulling big carts, etc. Anything that's bigger than a pedestrian but slower and more fragile than a car. It seemed like a good solution, but one that had to be designed in at the beginning. I don't know how you could go about re-engineering this model into existing city spaces.
