Fuck I need to do this. It’s amazing how blind some people are about the shit they do that inconveniences others. It seems every tree that’s anywhere near a sidewalk in my neighborhood is literally almost touching the ground. Like FFS, have none of you people ever heard of pruning? And taking walks when I had my kid in a stroller or wagon people would park across the sidewalk so you’d have to go off roading through their lawn to get back on the sidewalk. Even worse with the shoveling- there’s some people who just never do it at all and it becomes a skating rink for the kids walking to the bus stop so eventually they just walk in the road to avoid ankle deep slush.
I hear you on this, and I get it to a degree (are you pushing a stroller that's got the tiny wheels, vs. say like a jogging stroller?) Let me offer the flipside to this:
I lived in a town where I was not allowed to park in the street overnight, and I was not allowed to store a trailer on my property - village ordinance and guaranteed ticket. The night before a racing event, I'd have to go get my trailer and load it up (normally kept at a storage yard). As such, the truck+trailer combo would have to be parked in the driveway... and of course, it was long enough to block the sidewalk. If I disconnected the trailer from the truck, I'd get a ticket - became "trailer storage". If I parked in the street, I'd get a ticket for violating "no overnight parking." And guaranteed: I'd get someone walking down the street pulling a Radio Flyer wagon with their kids in it and they'd give me the stinkeye and/or bitch at me "YOU'RE BLOCKING THE SIDEWALK!" Well... my alternative is a $150 village ordinance ticket.
What WOULD piss me off in your scenario, is when the driveway is full of cars, blocking the sidewalk - because their 3 car garage is packed floor-to-ceiling with shit....
