“Dear PoPville,
The massive condo building next door has banned smoking on its property two months ago so now the sidewalk along the building and just south of it (right outside my tiny-by-comparison building) gets several smokers everyday outside with smoke billowing in to our open windows attempting to enjoy the fall temperatures and adjacent woods. While I think it’s great for them, they’ve banned smoking it’s become everyone else’s problem. Instead of having their smokers smoke in their tree circled smoking area they’ve resorted to congregating on the sidewalk, taking up residence at a local pocket park, smoking right outside my building (just south, and just off property of their building) and leave cigarette butts everywhere. I pick up at least 10 per day and this is just in the path of my dog walking. (more…)
