Great work by residents. But next time they need to have a more organized force to keep the city at bay, bring in the media, call their reps in the city council, etc.

You can’t beat the government in force but you can embarrass them until they give up.

I somewhat agree with the essay but I don’t think they’re making the case that people should be allowed to drive recklessly anywhere they want just because it’s a community event. There are good reasons people don’t want this happening next to their house. It’s dangerous and very loud, which you seem to gloss over but the essay affirms.

You don’t get a pass to harm people just because it’s a community event.
