True words. We see a lot, but there is a lot that we don't.
I was out walking the other day and saw a planting crew in action (they replant the flowers in the beds by the intersections every 90 days). It was as if it was choreographed: a lady with the plants was tossing them to this or that planter and they knew exactly where it was supposed to go. fascinating stuff. They don't have to put the flowers there, but they do.
Walking along the board fence by el Diablo and El Camino Real, there is a windrow of mulch under it. The fairway of the second hole parallels that fence and I used to find a lot of golf balls from errant shots along there. The mulch prevents most balls from rolling under the fence. They didn't have to do that, but they did.
Ever notice how every light pole in TV has a number on it? Also that the biffies on the executive courses, tunnels, all starter shacks, etc. are numbered as well? That's done for a very good reason: if somebody keels over near those places, the person calling 911 has an immediate reference so emergency services can locate the site immediately. They didn't have to do that, but they did.
A whole lot more thought goes into this place than I think most people realize.
