I remain mystified that so many places allow (either explicitly or due to lax enforcement) curb cuts which turn a public parking spot into a private one. I get that people who need cars - and Queens isn't exactly Manhattan - want places to park, but a spot which is used for a commuter vehicle at night can be used by someone going to shop by day if it's a public one.
When I write about curb cuts sometimes people email saying that I should be fine with curb cuts which make sidewalks more accessible for handicapped individuals. For the record, I am! I'm talking about curb cuts which turn the sidewalk into a mini driveway to someone's yard or garage.
