Hell, our artists use their cars as their canvasses. So I don't have to deal with the slow and inept walkers as much as the more densely populated cities. But I do sympathize.
And no one should be allowed to drive but me.

Perfect analogy. I live in a city with a two lane highway filled with dumptrucks. Throw in some construction work for the nespaper boxes, tree boxes and sidewalk seating. I cant work umbrellas into the analogy unfortunately. I guess they would be SUVs- unnecessarily taking up space under the guise that they are protectcing their people from the rough outdoors when really it is a paved suburban street or light drizzle. There.
