I don't think we can negotiate with a mob. Ever. Otherwise they'll keep doing it. It really feels like something that unfortunately happens in other countries where a group determines what goes on in certain neighbourhoods, like cartels.
Is this going to become the norm in Ottawa with the Trump movement coming here?
Will I have to move to another neighbourhood or city?
I imagine eventually they will do the same in other big cities.
It's been really difficult.

I live in north Centretown and not enough people appreciate just how excruciating this is. If they haven't experienced it they don't realize how devastating it is to sleep, mental health, etc.
I just had to leave Ottawa in order to be able to have some quiet. And on the 3+ hour drive to my partner's mom's house, we were both still hearing the horns and sirens in our heads. I still hear them now. I'm worried I have tinnitus.
