I read the entire comment, the initial point about the title being misleading irked me.

There was nothing misleading about it, it accurately conveyed what happened. IMHO we're beyond the point where micro-debating the various ins and outs of these things is helpful. Yes they should have done what he/she suggested, but yes - NONE of this should be happening. It's tiring and ridiculous.

The future is going to be tricky, we need to move faster and more efficiently than this.

The title is definitely misleading and does NOT accurately convey what happened. According to the article the city didn't ask him to stop sharing books, and as far as I can tell they are still sharing books. Just doing it from the garage instead of a free standing bookshelf (the real question is, what exactly is an "accessory structure.") Is a picnic table a free standing structure? What if you place a bread box on it?
