Is it better to file as an LLC or a C-Corp?

I have a small food delivery platform (think DoorDash) but plan to grow quickly. I am going to need money from investors and I will most likely be the sole board member, director, employee, etc. I don't know whether to start an LLC in Texas or a C-Corp in Delaware and I don't know a lot about the tax structures. Is it possible to bypass the double taxation by paying myself as an employee and not an owner?

Can a neighbor put up a sign on our driveway easement telling delivery drivers they can't drive up it?

Recently purchased rural property in Marin County, California. Our long 400 foot driveway passes over an easement we have with a neighbor before it gets to our property. Their house is right on the driveway, below us. They just put up a sign telling delivery truck drivers they can't drive up the driveway. We depend on delivery for many things, including groceries, as is common in 2021. Is it legal for the neighbor to prohibit deliveries over the easement? The sign is on their property, but we have the easement. They do have to contend with the traffic of anyone coming and going to our residence.
