This resident is objecting to the new Lime scooter station because - not a joke - it's "ruining her view."

you know what, i genuinely am amazed at how jimmy rutherford picks the most hilariously awful times to talk about the team. it's like, the season's teetering over the brink and in he comes with a match, some kerosene, and good old fashioned honesty. he's gotta be doing it for the love of the chaos.
