Bakersfield Woman Claims “Common Sense” Lost After Neighbor Builds a Birdhouse in the Wrong Tree, Sparks City Council Debate
I’m absolutely fed up with this nonsense. You’ve got a grown woman, right here in Bakersfield, crying to the city council because her neighbor hung a birdhouse in an oak tree that “blocks her view of the sunrise.” Are we serious? This is what our tax dollars are paying for—debating birdhouses instead of fixing the potholes on Chester Avenue. Here in Bakersfield, we used to have common sense. You want a sunrise view? Walk to the curb. You don’t like a birdhouse? Build a taller fence. But no, we make a viral news story out of it. The real birds in this town are the ones running our meetings.
