It's an "entitlement" to be able to walk to somewhere two miles away
without walking five miles?

It's not an "entitlement" to be able to exclude anyone from harmlessly
cutting through your yard, even though you knowingly bought property
on the shortest path between two neighborhoods not linked by roads,
and couldn't be bothered to put up a simple "No Trespassing" sign?

For once the law is on my side, not yours.  Don't like it?  Too bad.
You can vote to change the law, unlike me.  Or you can put up a sign.

It may be saying "stop" to children or animals, not to the general
public.  Or it may be left over from the previous owner -- especially
if there's a large hole in it that hasn't been patched.  Or it may
belong to the property I am leaving, not the property I am entering.

As I have a text-only account, I have no idea what that says.
