Edit: if I lived there and was forced off the sidewalk because of this building I'd be furious. Apple's hubris knows no bounds.

Not as big of a deal as the article makes it out to be, no. Especially since the store's located in a sort of out-of-the-way area, so the caution tape isn't really blocking traffic. But still amusing.

Exactly!

That said, I’m a little surprised that Apple didn’t try to go above and beyond here. Heating elements along the roof edge would more or less eliminate this issue without changing the aesthetics.
