I think if we were farther south, this would be understandable, but as it is, this is completely ridiculous. I think this is a case where a little bit of knowledge is a bad thing. People remember living through last winter (or the winter before) and they remember they lived through summer and when they put the two together, they somehow get summer driving with a feeling of invincibility. I have to say that I'm glad I don't have to drive now if I don't want to. I think I enjoy winters more.

Very soon, studies will indicate that traffic accidents resulting in road closures causes less accidents on the closed roads and transportation officials will begin studying plans to build traffic accidents in order to keep people safe. Just wait!

I'm not saying there are two good choices, I said there were two choices. I've never really been a fan of Web 2.0 - which seems, like the paperless office, more religious than practical. Giving a voice to everyone for every reason seems like a great idea, but the reality is that such conversations are dominated by a few people and a few of those few tend to ruin it for everyone else. The web merely makes it easier and quicker to do so.
There is some good that comes of it, but it is usually drowned out by the bad. It is far easier to destroy a cake than it is to cook one.

In a perfect world, none of these options would be an issue. Unfortunately, it's not a perfect world and I didn't have anywhere to go anyway.

Unlike most of the internet's denizens, I'm not anonymous, but have a sort of "brand" following my handle.
Unfortunately, in the absence of controls, some people take that freedom a bit too far. It's like playing a game and realizing you can shoot innocent people or run over bystanders. Some people do it, to the detriment of the game itself, simply because they can. I don't know if it's human nature or if these people are repressed at home, but it is inevitable.
You either accept that it will happen or take steps to stop it. There isn't really a good choice there.

Everyone grieves in their own ways. As long as it's not hurting anyone, the city should allow it for as long they keep it up. If the property is sold, then they should have to discuss it with the new owners, but again, there shouldn't be a city rule about it.
