So you're more concerned about the aesthetics of a bridge, that most people will never see up close, than the lives of people trying to end their lives??

Consider: your attitude towards others may be part of the problem. Try some empathy, I promise it won't kill you.

I think you misunderstood, i don't like putting suicide nets on shit because its not solving the problem, the people will just go somewhere else to jump, wich i said in the first comment.

Prevention is not a solution, no, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have value.
