I'm not saying government should have no say, but if the owner of the neighboring land was fine with it, that's a pretty good sign that it's ok, and the city shouldn't hassle them unless people complain to the city.
- tacostakohashi 8y agoI take it you have no problem with random people putting things on your property, so long as your next-door-neighbor is ok with it?
- asdfasgasdgasdg 8y agoThat doesn't really work in Manhattan. You may use your bit of sidewalk more than almost anyone else, but in terms of the fraction of total use, you are likely less than one percent. Hundreds or thousands of people walk on any given stretch of pavement every day. To say that the owner of the adjoining property should have the right to impose upon their use of public space just doesn't scale. Your concept would work marginally better in an exurb where almost no one uses the sidewalk, but even there, it's not really workable.
