Are New Yorkers too demanding or are they simply people who speak up when they see a better way? Let’s take a look at a story about some Christmas decorations, and you be the judge.

The Holland Tunnel connects lower Manhattan with Jersey City, N.J. For decades, the decorations that adorn this landmark tunnel during the holiday season have been driving some commuters nuts. Take it from Cory Windelspecht, who started a Change.org petition last week to make a few adjustments to the seasonal greenery:

“[E]very Holiday Season it is decorated with 2 wreaths and a Holiday Tree. But for some reason the tree is over the letter N in the word Holland instead of the letter A where it would fit perfectly. … [It’s] just unsightly and ruins the holiday festivities for people to enjoy on such a great piece of architecture.
