If I recall correctly, I think building codes surrounding tripping/fall hazards and railings may have had something to do with it unfortunately. I may be mistaken though
This is the world OSHA has created. I say we return to Darwinism.
To some extent that’s how it is in the Netherlands, at least when compared to countries like UK/US with strict health and safety/codes. Railings to stop your car from falling in the canal? Fuck that if you can’t park within a tiny space without falling into the water you deserve to die.
same goes for staircases. A student dorm I frequented in NL had a staircase in the library that was super steep, had no railings and if you trip you fall like 10m. Every step was of a different size.
Today that place in the middle would be blocked off by drywall and rented out for $1500/month.
Plus hydro.
My spouse: I was promised flying cars, and I don’t even get a conversation pit!
The internet IS our conversation pit.
