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.

but this guy has just permanently annexed the hallway.

Yeah, I'm split about it. On the one hand, that is what he's done, but on the other it sounds like it's an arrangement that everyone knows of and has been cool with for two years. I guess it's a sweet deal he has, but it doesn't seem like he has ownership over it.

Maybe it's my bias as a pedestrian, but cyclists can be nearly as entitled and dangerous as a motorist to people on foot The number of times I've almost gotten run over by cyclists blowing through red lights is uncountable.

Funny, I think the same of pedestrians. The amount of times people have tried to argue with me about how they should be allowed to walk on the bike path or how it's actually me who should hold back for them when they step out onto it, is crazy. The amount of times I've had to suddenly veer onto the road due to pedestrians being entitled/oblivious is also wild. Like it's not something I even register anymore.

Ideally pedestrians and cyclists put aside their grievances and team up to kill their common enemy, the motorist

Like anarchists and communists we should be able to save our grievances for after the revolution and only then do you get sent to reeducation camps (forced to watch tour de france 24/7)

I don't like being the anarchist in this analogy soviet-huff

Well pedestrians are the ones who seek to completely abolish the rules of the road, which is an artificial hierarchy (i am very smart and serious)
