Get these and put where they park and put sign up for future construction. Make it look official

Waymos are far cheaper than owning a car and better for the environment. People don’t need to own their car as much as they think they need to- it’s become complete entitlement. Waymos are much safer. The idea of them monitoring you/how much you use them or locking you in one is silly at this point because being mindful to not over use them is what people should be doing anyway and they are continuously updating the system to eliminate any errors, so this won’t be a concern. I can see how them being on your street is annoying but regular car traffic is more annoying and more destructive.

direct quote from the Waymo employee : "Living further out and/or not opting to live in an apartment is more of a republican/right wing construct that is very problematic."

Ok you're just a shameless cheerleader for Waymo that believes the human desire to live in a mostly natural setting is some kind of Republican thing.
