Yes do this! I got a permit, I posted the signs 5 days in advance, so people had plenty of time to see that there wasn’t parking ok the specific day/time. I mounted the signs to big traffic cones and had 6-7 signs spanning about 70 feet of curb for a 26 foot truck. I didn’t have any issues on the day of!

Block off an area of the street that is about twice as long as the moving truck so they have space to pull in, also align it so that the back of their truck is close to your front door.

Remember when we pretty much did hand out opioids to anyone who asked for them, and even though it was literal doctors and pharmacists handing them out it resulted in an opioid epidemic that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and ruined families across the country? But yeah the problem is that we didn’t give people easy enough access to heroin

My parents and grandparents would occasionally reference this event over the years, but I was only two months old when it happened. I always thought it was hyperbole - moving the team away in the dead of night. How absurd.

And round and round we go. Enforcement is pointless. We need Hamsterdam. Legalize all of it.

EDIT: To whoever is downvoting this comment, when was the last time you saw a drive-by shooting over bootleg liquor in the news? Prohibition doesn't work. Period. Full stop.

So long as there is a black market ruled by violence, you can give a life sentence to every gang-banger operating today, and there will be a fresh crop of replacements lined up to take their place, ad infinitum.
