[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Loved the WaPo photo of neighbors’ self-help signs posted on DC streets stating “No Through Traffic - Pedestrian Zone During Coronavirus Emergency.”[/quote]

I drove through AU Park yesterday afternoon and residents had places cones at multiple four-way intersections to prevent traffic from going through so kids could play all over the streets--all together. What entitlement! And tell me, what is the difference between little kids playing together in the street and opening playing fields for older kids to practice on. [/quote]

Entitlement ?!  And what about your clear sense of entitled to cut through the neighborhood?  Between kids and some bloke looking for a short cut between main roads, I vote for safe play for the kids?[/quote]

It's a public street, built for cars, residents do not own it. Yes, entitlement. As a drive, I had a legal right to be driving on that street (and by the way, I was driving in the neighborhood because I live there dummy--just hate some of my neighbors).[/quote]

And the kids also have a right to ride their bikes there safely, no?  I hope that you are an essential employee or we’re going out to get food or medicine and not ones of those jerks just driving around now out of boredom.[/quote]

They sure do, as long as it is also open to cars. You are obviously one of the people doing this, right? Please stop--you just make the whole neighborhood look bad. And by the way, what if I was essential staff trying to get to work, how do you feel about blocking off city blocks to impede my way?[/quote]
