i dont think a cut-though would benefit anyone except those out to cause problems
Although I'd love a path as a short cut I can completely understand why one would be potentially asking for trouble
This is all a bit depressing - the idea that anything that allows people to move around more freely is a threat. It sounds rather as if the ideal would be gated communities, some for nice people and some for the criminal element, with the keys to both being firmly in the custody of the nice people.
