This is just the type of attitude that drives me mad. What is it you're trying to say with that kind of comment? The only thing I get out of it is "I pay taxes so I own the street".

Like when I drive with people who complain about Sunday morning parades or sporting/cultural events because they can't get to the pub as quickly as they have done on every other Sunday for their whole lives. WTF? Never mind the opportunity to experience something different, or the potential net benefit to the city, or the desire to build something world class (as in the city or the event itself). It's always about me me me.

I pay taxes in Toronto and I've had the marathon run right down my street but that wasn't frustrating (I actually enjoyed it). It's narrow mindedness that's frustrating. Not saying that's you, but that's how you're coming across.
