I'd just move them out of your way more than anything. Report it to the company and city of it's a major issue but between the battery in them and not being consumer bought you'd likely be liable for damages if they catch you throwing them out and I'm sure they're not cheap.

Reply to URA's Avenues of Hope has $7 million to help undo a history of disinvestment in Black neighborhoods by RadioChris1

The lower elevations, especially the Charles st valley is the historically black part of the neighborhood and is in the worst shape. Perry hilltop wasn’t a redlined neighborhood. it did badly in the 80s which is a little surprising given it’s vantage point overlooking the city and it has decent bus routes but I guess most old city neighborhoods did badly in the 80s. Not too many American legion buildings were built in poor black neighborhoods and it sits empty now that old white people that frequented it have died off. Good for her for finding a fitting use for an unused building.

Here are some maps that show the top of the hill is still a mixed race neighborhood.

Source from Wikipedia:

Perry South experienced white flight after 1960; from 1960 to 1970, the neighborhood's total population declined from 16,000 people to 13,000, while its African-American population, which had formerly been located almost exclusively in the Charles Street Valley, increased from 15% to 20%.[5] From 1970 to 2000, the total population decreased to just 5,200 people, of whom 65% were African-American.[6]

I was responding to the part of the comment about "public space," not the driveway thing. Of course these things, just like other people's cars, should not be parked in someone's private driveway without permission.

Reply to Another complaint about Magee by 1MagnificentMagnolia

I will always complain about magee l&d and the whole pregnancy via magee. If I had a choice I WOULD NEVER GO THERE. Terrible experience! Voiced my complaints and since then have met so many people who had the same experience.

They also messed up my daughters birth certificate
