Years ago, I was stuck on a plane on the taxiway for 4 hrs due to thunderstorms in the city that was the destination. The airlines couldn't legally do that today. The limit is 3 hrs, Even 3 hours stuck on a plane on the ground shouldn't be allowed. If it's even 1 hour, they should deplane.
Portland to Houston due to weather in Houston. Sat on PDX Taxi way. Drank the plane dry (captain declared open bar) and filled the toilets. No AC because the engines were shut down after an hour to save fuel. Made connection since nothing was leaving Houston on time.
7 hour delay Dulles to Portland due to lightning storm and then crew hours. Airline played schedule catch up next morning by adding extra morning flight

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
