[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]311. But they are unlikely to dispatch someone unless the car is in violation of some traffic law at the time you made the call. Also DDOT is not exactly speedy when responding.[/quote],

DPW would need its staffing increased by a measure of like 1,000 to deal with the issues we have now (all of which are entirely Council-created in the name of "equity.") And even then, it can't ticket/tow cars parked on private property. [/quote]

Actually, the moving violations are the fault of Maryland and Virginia, who refuse to offer reciprocity to DC, so MD and VA drivers can just do whatever the hell they want on our roads. [/quote]

Explain?

Even if outsiders can dodge paying tickets, how can they dodge arrest and impoundment? [/quote]

The can easily dodge it because DPW (which writes parking tickets and handles booting/towing) and MPD (which handles arrests) are both critically understaffed. Your chance of getting booted/towed for owing thousands in tickets -- or getting pulled over by police -- is laughably small in DC.[/quote]

For less than 5% of what is currently owed on outstanding tickets, they could increase enforcement ten-fold.

It's literally like having hundreds of acres of farmland, each acre of which has of thousands of plants each sprouting dozens of $100 bills but looking at the $25 in your wallet and complaining that you don't have enough enough money to hire people to go out and pick up those thousands and thousands of $100 bills.[/quote]
