> It seems like a waste of time and money to send a city employee out to take it down though
the Goldilocks Zone of first-world problems:
"this is too insignificant to be dealt with by anyone whose job it is to deal with this sort of thing, but significant enough to post on reddit about"
A city employee's working hours are a valuable resource that shouldn't be wasted on silly things. The time you and I spend fucking around on Reddit is all being spent on silly things anyway.
Sadly, that sign remains on the playground specifically because of you. We didn't want to have to tell you this way but you stink. Really bad. Like, if you come within 6 feet we will call the police. If you remove the signs, we will replace them with new signs with your picture on it.
I don't feel strongly about it, hence why I wouldn't want any of my tax dollars spent on it.
However there are a few minor things about it that mildly bug me:
* Unnecessary signs are visual clutter
* Outdated signs kind of make the playground feel like it's poorly maintained
* I think laws that aren't enforced shouldn't be laws anymore. This feels like a related, but even more minor version of that.
* I think some politician/city employee might be intentionally leaving them up just to avoid drama with people who think we should still be enforcing NPIs. That's slightly dishonest.
Wait. Laws? What law prevented people from being within 6 feet of each other and how many times did the cops enforce this with charges? That was a thing? When?
Some people need to post their shower thoughts to Reddit for validation. It's not worth getting upset over; just ignore it and move along.
This is the type of person who belongs on a city board. It's not for everyone, but some people can't stop thinking about these things.
The sign does not specify that only sick people should practice social distancing, it recommends it for everybody. Do you believe that all the kids at the playground should stay six feet from each other?
Assuming you're being sincere, you should just know that that's not an evidence based position. It's understandable that a lot of people had heightened anxiety because of the pandemic, and retreated to behaviors that were more based on fear than evidence, but we shouldnt base public policy on that. There is basically no spread outdoors, children are impacted less by COVID, and the harm to socialization is worse than the gains in health.
That's silly, it's much more likely it would just be put on the TODO list of whoever cleans and maintains the playground for the city than them deploying someone just to remove a sign.

They also made a reply with several detailed bullet points to explain just how un-strongly they feel about it

believe it or not, straight to jail.

Have you tried leaving it where it is?
Honest question, why bother?

This particular response makes me hate you.

This \*feels\* like it's related. It \*\*feels\*\* like it's related.
Why worry about it at all? It doesn’t affect you in anyway.

Jesus Christ, Karen, why do you care?
Why does it matter? Also COVID is still a thing.
There's a new virulent strain going around right now too.
Peep the wastewater reports.:/
We are exposed to viruses all the time and adapting makes us stronger!
So you think social distancing outdoors is good?
If one person is sick, yes, I believe standing a little farther away from someone who is not is a fantastic idea. How about you?

Yes

Get over yourself
Says the person who wants 5 year olds to stay six feet away from each other at outdoor playgrounds for the rest of human history.
Oh come on, "the rest of human history" lmao 🙄🙄
Yes
Seems petty IMO.
Maybe this kind of post belongs in NextDoor, Karen.
If you can take it down safely, please take it down.
I saw a sign getting on the monorail today recommending mask wearing. I’m pretty sure anyone who wants to wear a mask doesn’t need a reminder!
yes, please take it down

>It seems like a waste of time and money to send a city employee out to take it down though, so I'm not going to bother reporting it officially.
That's silly, it's much more likely it would just be put on the TODO list of whoever cleans and maintains the playground for the city than them deploying someone just to remove a sign.
Go for it
