There does seem to be a certain ‘let them eat cake’ attitude from the city about these nice PC events. That they might seriously inconvenience a lot of folk is blithely ignored.
It is a lot like the electric companies happy decision to cut down other folks trees instead of burying the lines, as a responsible utility would.
