Clear those obstructions also. You seem to be arguing that because there are other obstructions, another one is okay. I get that one is extreme and the other is not.
I’m still of the opinion the people with the book locker should put in their yard, not obstructing the sidewalk.
No...I get you. I believe in following the rules too. But, when the powers that be ignore their very own rules...I can understand why individuals choose to ignore them also. It’s no less galling to me to see ANY of them do that. Rulz is rulz.
As a side story... A “yard design” contractor put a portapotty on the main street at a house coming into our subsection of homes. They worked at that house for 6 months...even leaving other crap on the street the entire time. It was very congested there. Finally finished and left. The same company showed up at the new neighbor’s house ACROSS THE STREET from us. The neighbor hired them to do the work. Believe me, I already had the numbers to call at the city offices. (I could even lodge a complaint thru the city’s phone app!) The yard contractor actually put the portapotty at the far end of the guy’s driveway. The company was even very respectful of the “street”. I think the neighbor had a come-to-Jesus conversation with them as part of his contract. The new neighbor seems like that kind of guy.
