I feel like there may be a reason to this. It looks like the flowers got recently moved. Maybe it was in the way of the main footpath that sees the most traffic? I can see it getting moved if people repeatedly tripped over it at night or when drunk.
I feel that this may be in a snowy region and a snow plow accidentally moved it in the winter.
That would be impressive.
Pretty sure that's not a movable planter. It's literally a circle of bricks around a hole in the paving so you can plant flowers in the soil underneath. It's not something you can push around. They built it like this, on purpose.
Also looks like there could be a drainage issue.
There is 100% a reason for this. Because it takes days, if not weeks, to build out a feature like this. And even the most autopilot zero shits given county worker will realize something is "off". And, more importantly, realize that someone is likely to see it before they finish and insist they do it again.
I don't buy the "in the way of the footpath" since that seems to be where a lot of paths converge.
Gods I hope we're not to the point of coddling people that we're now structuring our architecture to protect the drunks.
If you protect the drunks you also protect the visually impaired, those with lacking motor skills, the chronically absent-minded, and Smombies. I do hope we protect the drunks.
So say we're protecting those people then. Makes the hand holding a little more palatable.
