When this development was pitched to the #TownOfChapelHill, it was allegedly going to be "the most bike and pedestrian friendly neighborhood in North Carolina."
We have determined that the blocks are holding up towers of security cameras. No doubt we've been added to a database now.
@DrTCombs I just got an "aha" moment. All these times I hit my head with street lamp poles and road sign poles, those were examples of hostility against pedestrians. Because no one ever would put a street sign or a lamp pole in the middle of a car road.
Granted, it is more dangerous for a car to hit a pole than to me absent-mindedly to walk into one, but it doesn't mean it's an acceptable practice. But only the contrast in attitudes you've exposed helped me to see the unfairness.

Thank you for putting this into words!
@DrTCombs People don’t hurt cars, concrete hurts cars.
@DrTCombs hey, progress! Thank you for giving us this closure
I am amused by the cones. As if the concrete block was perfectly visible and in no danger in its old location, in the middle of the crosswalk, but now that it's in a parking spot, someone might accidentally careen into it.
