How does everyone feel about folks charging their electric vehicle with the power cord on the sidewalk? I want an EV but also want to be a considerate neighbor. Pic is not JC, just an example I found online.Knobbies4Ever t1_ir5673i wrote
Forget about the cord on the sidewalk for a sec: how do you make sure nobody else parks in “your” spot on the street?

If this was Boston, the easy solution is a lawn chair. IYKYK.

The lawn chair is only for a spot you shoveled! It’s not for reserving the spot in front of your house.
Please lawn chair responsibly.

Or literally anything. I used to use a laundry basket or an Adirondack chair

If you lived there and moved here, I hope you have learned by now that such measures won't fly in JC. I mean, unless you are willing to go full southie and beat someone to death over their audacity to avail themselves of a cleared up spot. In which case, maybe don't come here... we have enough crazies already.

Too late, already here. Yes I did live in southie. I’m originally from here so no I have common sense and know where I am.

You don't need to charge it every time, usually only like once a week. Fairly good odds you get to park within range of that at least once per week, unless someone doesn't move their car for cleaning. Yea, it's certainly not foolproof, and there's 100% gonna be times you need it and can't get right to it, but it would theoretically be fine more often than not

And even in that instance, I’m sure you can grab a charge somewhere else if really needed.

It's a good point... but should we be forgetting about the elderly, handicapped, vision-impaired? Anyone could easily trip over that if they are distracted or it's night or any number of situations.

I agree with you 100%. If someone needs to run a cord or hose across the sidewalk for a temporary project, ok. But a seemingly permanent thing like this? No way. I’d talk to them if I knew them, or SeeClickFix it.

Yes and... I at least appreciate the person in the picture put some amount of effort in! The sidewalks of JC have much bumpier sections than that!

Im Dover people buy traffic cones to mark out "their" space
