I live in a peaceful cul-de-sac in Watertown, MA. Two weeks ago my father was hit by a drunk driver (foul mouthed, a drugs addict) on our driveway, probably black). This almost destroyed our happy suburban life. Because of this the right side of my father's left foot is paralyzed for the rest of his life. My mother saw the disaster happen and since then, she can't come out of the house any longer because she's grown afraid of cars. Now I have to do all the grocery shopping. I wrote a letter to the city council, asking if they could forbid cars for two weeks in the streets surrounding our cul-de-sac. This would help her get used to the idea of leaving the house again. Would you believe the city refused to even consider it? Frankly I'm offended as a tax payer that practical considerations are superior to the delicate feelings of the citizen.
