For the record, RantWoman wishes that people did not have to live in their cars.
RantWoman also likes to think of herself as more willing than some to tolerate car camping in her neighborhood. RantWoman definitely prefers that car campers make some effort to keep their living area tidy, free of trash, bicycles, and other things that impede passage for blind people, people in wheelchairs, and of course everyone else on sidewalks. Car campers unfortunately do not always have well-developed neighbor skills.

RantWoman knows perfectly well that she could probably call the City of Seattle Customer Service Bureau during respectable daytime hours. That is not when RantWoman has time to interact with the problem.
The behaviors in question.
--Occupy both sides of a narrow sidewalk with no curb but a steep drop-off to the street on one side.
--"Occupy" includes bicycles, a tent, a shopping cart and a number of vehicles parked on the street.
--Run some kind of a pop-up market selling God knows what of God knows what provenance.
--Solicit donations from any passerby who would simply like to get to the bus stop without either tripping over difficult life circumstances or falling on her face into the street on the way to the bus stop.

OKAYYyyyyy. How about we try the page on the City of Seattle customer service bureau?
How about it?
--Samecategories as the #FindItFixIt app. Looks promising.
--immediate demand to identify location on a Google map. Nope, still not goona happen.
--Ha, ha, ha. Nope can't even move past the the location request to the yes / no questions.
Haillp.
PS. Life was SLIGHTLY better when the car campers lived on a different street now shielded by a large number of eco-blocks. At least there was no non-existent curb to fall off of. And the whole space was more level. OK, ok it was still a nuisance, but....
