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.

I'm siding with the cyclist

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm leaning that way as well, though I'm not on the fence due to the cyclist not taking the offer of the money. It seems like that would have been a fine solution. On the other hand the other guy is super impatient about it as well. I'm on the fence because I don't know what the whole "reconfiguring the living room layout" entails and wether or not he's being hyperbolic about it or not. Besides if you have a living room you have a bedroom, so you might have some space on a wall there, which isn't perfect, but I don't know the layout.
Still the other guy seems like a narc.

I used to keep my bike in my room before I moved it to a small utility space my landlord gave me keys to. I live in a 150 sq foot room with nothing else and I still would not clutter the hallway I share with my neighbor. The only things we keep in that hallway are a communal fridge and freezer. Cyclist is the asshole in this case.

Yeah i find it weird too. The more comments I see the more I side with the cyclist being a bit of a dick

Good points, the redditor seems to have had his way in the end
