> but people speed through my kid heavy neighborhood without a care in the world. Would love to Uber-ize traffic enforcement
Same and my neighborhood doesn’t have side walks. I’ve started walking down the center of the street. For my friends and neighbors I step aside and we chat.
For “outsiders” I don’t move out of their way. If they’re very aggressive I start a conversation. In the end they know I know who they are and they and often slow down.
I would hate to have some independent entity enforcing traffic on my neighborhood. It would destroy the sense of community. Instead I do my part to claim the roads for my kids and family.
- coupdejarnac 4y agoThis approach of inviting confrontation is bound to backfire eventually. The outsiders don't know if you're a Karen high on a power trip or just high.
