[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about having a Department of Public Works that cleans streets? The fact that neighborhoods have to work hard to get a Clean Team and beg the Mayor for one is absurd. [/quote]

+1, I'm getting so annoyed that we follow all the street sweeping parking rules and then they don't even come anyway and I wind up going out and cleaning up all the trash in the gutter myself. Which, fine, but then why make me move my car? Also none of my neighbors bother so I guess I have to clean all the gutters myself or accept there is just a bunch of trash in the street.

What is the point of paying taxes and following laws for public services if we don't get the services and then have to do it ourselves anyway?

Also, there is a group of 10-20 people who hang out at the bus stop near my house. They have multiple off-leash dogs, regularly park in the bus stop (we once saw them with a vehicle up on blocks to do work on it *in the bus stop*), litter, openly drink alcohol, and of course, smoke a bunch of weed. For some reason, they are never ticked for parking in the bus stop, yet if I forget to move my car for street sweeping, it's $100 plus a tow.

It's stuff like this that makes people not ask themselves "what can I do to help DC?" OP.[/quote]
