[quote=Anonymous]All these people who want to declare other peoples' property "common area"...yeah that is how it worked year ago. And it worked because there was an understanding that if you used someone else's thing that you would do something for them...in this case maybe it is maintain that space, or bring their cans in and out.

What I've seen is as the newer crowd comes in they feel entitled to use other people's property as their own, without recompense. You can smell the entitlement of OP from a mile away. So the property owner did what is perfectly in their right to do, and assert their interest in their own property. OP has a number of choices, including just putting her cans out in the alley like many other people and as intended by DPW. Or, she can figure out a way to take off the alley and put on her own property.

BTW having lived on an alley and in the burbs, this isn't something special that only alley living snowflakes deal with. The "keeper of the alley" grows up to be the "mayor of the street" in suburbia and cites the town grass height in her passive aggressive listserv posts.[/quote]
