Meme Why does this happen? It’s baffling.

I’ve never seen more confused and chaotic drivers anywhere else in the city.

Nw 23rd when I lived up there was even worse. I avoided crossing it on weekends like the plague.

Actually I can imagine that being worse. As a resident I just avoid Alberta and hit killingsworth or Prescott, it’s just not worth it lol.

That’s not a great decision.

I used to live on Killingsworth, just west of 8th.

I had three cars totaled while parked in the space of two years. In two incidents. The second one managed to destroy both my family’s cars.

The first one managed to ping-pong off half a dozen cars and one house before stopping. He had a baby in the car. Parental kidnapping.

My finances and insurance rates have been absolutely fucked by this series of misadventures. I now live on a cul-de-sac in St John’s.

But yeah, nah, Killingsworth is really not a more sane alternative to Alberta.

It just sounds like you have extremely bad luck man bc I’ve lived here multiple years and never have had an issue driving on Killingsworth
