well, it finally happened... 3803Proved planners have forced developers to do it? I live in a rural area so I don't know about your specific location, but I can tell you about where...
!
Well, as of last night the phone line (guy across the street lost his phone but nothing else, so it's a pretty good bet that that's what it is) was still coiled up at the base of the pole where the guy across the street left it. (since he was pretty sure that's what it was he moved it out of the way himself. I didn't want to do that since I wasn't 100% sure I wouldn't be grabbing ahold of one leg of a main service.) So that's two days right there.
If you need to get to the hospital for some reason, 2 feet of snow is not really a concern. You're going to go anyway.
But that's far less likely. However, I've been there only two years and have already encountered the line-down situation. And once last year as I already mentioned, stuck cars blocking the only intersection that takes you out.
Obviously, cul-de-sacs shouldn't be used, IMHO.
This must be a regional thing, as where I grew up (western PA) I never lived in a place, nor can think of any friend's houses that I ever visited, where there weren't at least two completely separate ways to get out and I don't recall ever seeing a single cul-de-sac. And that's the way we liked it! :)
