I'm not extremely fond of the NextDoor app; I see it as the whine aisle of the internet. Now, if you want to have your neighbors keep an eye out for your missing feline or Ferrari, it's great, and if you lost that recipe for Chex Mix* that Jack's first wife told you about, it's the place to go.
But...even though Joe Citizen speaking his mind while standing on a soap box is a fundamental part of our society, it's not good for society when Joe spreads misinformation, or just pure dumb stuff, as with the person I saw howling because her daughter got a $45 parking ticket just because she parked in the fire lane at a townhouse complex while attending an overnight sleepover.
She was mad as a hornet, probably because there were no fires that night. Maybe Irate Mom should have thought about what would have happened had someone knocked over a Yankee Candle during the evening, causing a fire.
It happens. We wish it didn't, but it does, and when it does, we want firefighters and their apparatus to have unfettered access to the house.
And if they can't get there, well, just go on NextDoor and talk about it.
