[quote=Anonymous][quote]I live in the neighborhood near the school. The older residents probably dislike others parking and have the NIMBY-thing going on. I have no issues with parking on the street. I do have an issue with parents double parking on 14th St in front of the school and parents making u-turns in the middle of 14th St. I have an issue with both these behaviors because I think it is totally unsafe and fear a child getting hit. Parents need to stop being so lazy. Park legally and WALK your child in.[/quote]

I agree, and the school, to its credit, has something called "carpool" (which we in more reasonable places might think means that kids are carpooling to school....) but here means that there are employees of the school picking kids out of cars on 14th street and escorting them into school. Walking is so rare that they have a "school walking day," wherein they encourage parents to drop their children off about six blocks from the school... and walk them in from there.

I am not trying to say that these efforts are bad, I am just... genuinely... look, I still feel like outsider about them--and as one--I am like, wtf.[/quote]
