I posted this in urbanism because I think it can be an offset for a nice discussion about living together in apartment blocks and the cramped conditions that arise, especially in sub-par block. Part of urbanism is urban living and discussions about how to tackle issues such as these.
Of course none of this would be an issue with good infrastructure, but that’s something that can always be said. If everything was lollypops and gumdrops and so on.
I like the thread because both people start off reasonable and courteous and then end up calling each other names. I dislike it because, it being reddit, it just becomes a dogpile instead.
$5 is a small enough amount of money that if it’s all you need you can get it basically whenever you want if you try even a little. They could even just ask OP for it.
For example, they have two bikes. They could use one of those bikes one time to do a food delivery. They are basically saying that making everyone else deal with this hassle and a fire hazard for years isn’t worth 30 minutes of riding the bikes they presumably ride all the time for work and/or exercise.
