Hold on, you never said residents. If this was a neighborhood-wide push then I would be open to it. The neighborhood may have a good reason to say bus stop should be here or there, if there were many home owners asking for a change then that is something I would agree with. Maybe there’s a coffee shop a block away that more people congregate at and it would be better used there, maybe people don’t want to j-walk to catch their bus. Those are reasons that make it worth changing - for the good of the public and the neighborhood.
However, if it was one house then as I’ve said and stand by, I view it as selfishness. I see it as one person dictating how many others can or can not go about their time on public property, and trying to dictate to the city where they can or cannot put public services on their own land. I don’t care if it was 70 feet or 700 feet, it’s one person with a minor, tiny, insignificant change. I said this elsewhere and I stand by it:
They didn’t want to see them out their window? Deal with it. You want privacy? Close the curtains or pay to put up a fence. Someone is loud? They’re there for 20 minutes max until the next bus. Or what is most likely from the photo - they probably wanted a parking space there. I don’t see any reason to push to move it that wasn’t selfish.
The best reason I heard is that maybe it was an issue with how loud the bus was, that one may have credence. However, pushing it closer to the neighbor doesn’t seem like a solution, and it seems like it should be a neighborhood discussion.
damn, you cannot be a real human, why would a bot be told to be such a contrarian.
in the 70 years that said station was relocated no one even noticed. I really hope I never end up becoming your neighbour, you sound insufferable to live near to.
you’ll call the municipality if my bins are an inch out of place.
Ironically, no. I’m saying your grandma sounds like that person who would call in the bins.
I’m saying that your scenario of the bins is the same as the bus stop. Just deal with it, ignore it, and live peacefully. It’s a molehill she made a mountain out of.
