By ‘locals’ I mean the people who live in the historic district who end up being super inconvenienced by the festivities every year. We’re just trying to go about our lives and everything gets totally upended for a week. Not being able to park on your own block, businesses being closed, having to leave for work an hour early to make sure you can get to your job two miles away on time, finding drunk strangers passed out naked on your porch, things being stolen or broken. The folks from the south side, the islands, richmond hill, garden city, and everywhere else around the city are the ones who really fuck shit up. Not to say the downtown crowd isn’t capable of the same debauchery but there aren’t that many of us compared to the thousands and thousands of people who come in from the surrounding areas.

If you are driving to a job two miles away then I don't feel bad for you. Check out these things called walking or biking.
