I Would think that with all of the pedestrians walking around there for the festivities throughout the day the chairs would be a hazard. It made me laugh at the lengths that people will go to make sure they are first and get the best.

LOL - Folks have been setting up for parades like that for years here - and in many other communities where we have attended parades, too! Have you never seen the campers on television who arrive days before the Rose Bowl parade? The chairs are at the edge of the sidewalk with plenty of room for pedestrians behind them. And pedestrians should not be attempting to cross the street along that stretch since there are no crosswalks there for that purpose.

Check out the picture - doesn't look like there are but 4 'squares chairs' among the 30+ that have been put out. So it does not appear that anyone is saving seats for anything but a personal use. Perhaps you can just complain that the man is saving spaces.
