I personally think your response to the issue being raised is exactly why America is a total dump that will never be able to have nice things. You’re literally shutting down someone’s criticism of the functionality of the public spaces in their everyday life because you don’t think it’s a big deal. But it’s the laziness of things like this that actually make America a shitty place to live. It’s an epidemic of poor decisions with regard to how much placement of things inconvenience others. This was clearly a poorly planned implemention of selling a ton of plants out front of the store. Someone raised the issue. But you. You decided to shut them down for it because they should get over it. There are bigger issues. Yeah fair enough I guess but also you’re enabling shitty design and things will only get worse when there’s folks like you that accept garbage and tell anyone who complains about it that they’re crazy for saying anything about how it’s garbage. /rant

Roca News @ridethenews is my go to but I’ve tuned most things out at this point to try and stay sane.

This comment is so meta. You’re literally engaging in the conversation about it right now. This means it worked… How does no one understand this? The fact of the matter is it makes the issue relevant so that it shows up on people’s screens and they’re forced to confront the issue and debate the protest and it becomes topical. No one wants to be stuck in traffic. I sympathize with those who were affected. But I’ll give you one guess who I sympathize with more right now.
