I had 36 email chain with my council person who brought in someone senior at the streets department (maybe head engineer?) about this on my block. The dude even came to see it and said “I gave them a hard time and told them not to block the sidewalk anymore”. Reader, you will be shocked to learn that nothing changed.

I don't enjoy the level of bootlicking the current generation demands.

I hear ya. I’ve been going in regularly for years and I’m always kind, he’s a bit stoic — at first I thought it was me, but it’s just how he is! Now I find it brings charm to the place. It’s part of the experience. I still get everything I want/need, and he expedites the process if anything. And when I DO get a smile, it makes my day even better!

This is why the city government is responsible for sidewalk maintenance in most other places.

It's dangerous for drivers too even if there are no pedestrians. So many intersections around the city where you need to inch into the intersection just to see if there's a car coming.

>I never understood why
because the trade unions' business model is getting as close to the legal edge of extortion and coercion as they possibly can rather than competing in an open market.

And yet my girlfriend's legally parked car got a ticket in Fairmount for being a month late on emissions inspection. Meanwhile every single corner in Fairmount has illegally parked cars near the corners that make it impossible to see at intersections and I've never seen a single ticket on those cars. Law enforcement in this city makes no sense.

Thinking about moving here from Seattle. I don't own a car, so walking is my only option. What parts of downtown are safe? Seattle has a big crime issue and I'd like to get away from that preferably.
