no i am not talking about my personal schedule, which indeed does sometimes fit inot the "poor planning" category. rather this post is about silly decisions made by planning authorities around the world, courtesy of Planetizen.
For example:
- Great Britain has an estimated 4 million surveillance cameras monitoring public spaces. Recently, the government in one area announced that it will attach loudspeakers in 20 districts so that officials who monitor the locations can actually scold citizens who are spotted engaging in “antisocial” behavior.
- In February, when housing officials in a German town ran out of small apartments for low-income residents, they decided to put them in quarters that were larger than regulations allowed. However, the officials made the residents close off some rooms to stay within the allotted space, and said inspectors would make regular visits to see that no one cheated.
