“How Inconvenient”: Jerk Blocks Church Handicap Ramp With BMW, Gets Just Revenge

A man made sure to get revenge on a BMW driver who insisted on parking in such a way as to block a wheelchair ramp.

“The biggest misconception is that planners have agency. They don’t. The elected officials call the shots. Planners advise but don’t make policy. And elected officials often do not listen.
