One of the main reasons you get these insane stories in the South Korean press about the North is becuase defectors are treated horribly in the South. Basically one of the only ways for defectors to get anywhere in South Korean society is to become a media guy and tell these obviously fake but headline grabbing stories.

They do these wavey streets in trailer parks sometime (usually in the nicer mobile home estates where permenant prefab units are set up). It’s partly to slow down traffic, but one main reason is to break up sight lines.

If the road is straight, you can look down the street and see two dozen identical units and they can see you. If you make the roads all bendy and plant some trees/hedges you can get some sense of privacy.
