If grandma can't navigate turning from Roland to 41st to Evans chapel, then she needs to hang up the keys.

This is incredibly ageist and ableist.

I care about the mobility of my neighbors. And I take exception to people dismissing their needs as defects rather than accommodations for our neighbors. And I’m 34. I just possess a modicum of decency and concern for the welfare and safety of others.

The ability to do something and the safety of doing it are also two different things. But I understand that the 20 something gentrifiers in surrounding neighborhoods who don’t actually live in this neighborhood feel incredibly entitled to lecture to the folks who have lived here forever because “green space”.

I agree that people who can't drive down the block and turn around are defective.

Spoiled Hampdenites don’t get what they want and throw a fit, trash their supposedly progressive values and resort to ableist and ageist insults because boo fucking hoo they don’t have another place for their dogs to take a shit. Big surprise.
