For context I got a picture of the place in google maps. and discovered that said bus station is no longer there at all, but I have marked were the bedroom is, the original location (straight in front of their window. and the exchanged location, no one was inconvenienced by that change. and albeit it was a minor inconvenience for my great grandparents, the fix was trivial.
To me, that's even less of a reason. They could still see in, she could still see them, I side with the city still. What was the point of moving it except wasting taxpayer money?
You picked one hell of a weird hill to die on.
Right? This is the angriest I've ever seen anyone be about a bus stop being moved 10 feet 70 years ago.
How exactly was any tax payer money wasted? the whole exchange cost nothing at all.
And siding with some municipality Karen from the 50s is one hell of a specific hill to die on. lets face it, you are objectively wrong. despite the non existence evidence and records of this event, you are still wrong.
Chances are the municipality did not want to spend the funds (practically costs nothing) to move a sign a few metres, but it mattered a lot to the residents. and when they had to rebuild it, then it would have been free to move. instead they were stubborn and lazy and all it took is a bit of direct action.
From the look of it, I’d say that the distance from the window to the bus stop doubled. The perceived sound level of people at the bus stop would have declined by 75%. Which could be the difference from lying in bed, able to clearly hear the conversations of people waiting at the bus stop, to an imperceptible murmur of background noise.
These sort of minor changes are not frivolous, they can have a huge impact on the quality of life for someone.
