I posted this in urbanism because I think it can be an offset for a nice discussion about living together in apartment blocks and the cramped conditions that arise, especially in sub-par block. Part of urbanism is urban living and discussions about how to tackle issues such as these.
Of course none of this would be an issue with good infrastructure, but that's something that can always be said. If everything was lollypops and gumdrops and so on.
I like the thread because both people start off reasonable and courteous and then end up calling each other names. I dislike it because, it being reddit, it just becomes a dogpile instead.
I know this is easier said than done, but my preferred first step would've been to ask other tenants to help harass building management into installing lockable indoor bike racks. It's probably not gonna get anything done in itself, but it'll help get other people involved and thinking about the issue, because I bet other cyclists would like to have some place safe to lock their bikes outside of their living spaces.
