How does this hurt you if your kids don't go there?
- fecal_henge 11mo agoSome people have the capacity to think something is wrong even if they are not affected.
- exe34 11mo agoWhen billionaires break the law, we all suffer. I'll let you try to figure out why. you seem like a smart chap.
- potato3732842 10mo agoYour complaint amounts to "the law is not popular enough to be easily enforced against someone who has the means to defend themselves out of principal" Repeal the law. Then nobody is breaking it.
- exe34 10mo agoThat's an odd conclusion to come to from the premise. It's actually an argument against billionaires.
- somanyphotons 11mo agoKids will slam car doors at dropoff/pickup. It's pretty annoying. I used to live around the corner from a school and parents would use our street for it. They can also cause unexpected heavy traffic if they have some special event.
- bartvk 11mo agoIt doesn't hurt me personally but the article opens with the sentence "Neighbors complained about noise, security guards, and hordes of traffic. An unlicensed school named after the Zuckerbergs’ pet chicken tipped them over the edge."
- CalRobert 11mo agoSounds like a lot of the problem was caused by cars, which shouldn't be necessary for a school, ideally.
- bdcravens 11mo agoThe kids have to school and back home somehow, and ditto for the employees. Drive by a local school when it ends the day and marvel at the parents in line to collect their children.
- CalRobert 10mo agoYeah I’m just grousing about how rotten design is when kids need to be driven to school, and if people don’t like traffic the solution is to forbid cars, not schools.
- em-bee 10mo agothat's a culture/car/public-transport problem, not a school problem. in a place where cars are the only way to get around you can't have any popular place without cars.
- Psillisp 11mo agoGood fences make good neighbors
- riskable 11mo agoSeriously? Beyond the unaccounted safety and traffic situation, you've obviously never lived next to a school. Kids are loud AF! I lived right behind an elementary school (playgound was kitty-corner to my fence) two houses ago. During recess and lunch time, the kids were so loud I had to shout to hear people next to me inside my house. ...but forget all that: What you're advocating for is lawlessness. If you don't like the law, lobby to change it! Don't just violate it and screw over your neighbors in the mean time.
