[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Giving people in DC - a city full of nerds who get off on telling other people what to do - the power to issue parking tickets is going to be a complete shitshow. There will be horrible arguments, self righteousness, and threats of legal action.

I can’t wait to sit back and watch this all unfold!

Why are all of these things going to happen?

You sound like a bike owner (wow that makes you special?!?) who doesn't bike.

People will submit a time stamped photo, probably via an app, that will clearly show a parking violation.  Then the city will issue a citation via the mail.

Why will this be a shitshow with horrible arguments, self righteousness and threats of legal action?

Everyone waiting for the bus with me in the morning has their phones out - when you run into Starbucks and block the bus zone for 10 minutes while you get your latte there will be a posse of people with cellphones and a legitimate grievance about your selfish behavior all happy to take a photo and submit it in the hopes you get a ticket for being an a$$hole.

Since you are a "bike owner" no doubt you know it is already a shitshow on our streets with drivers who completely disregard the cities parking (and driving laws) - it is unclear to me how trying to enforce those laws is somehow going to make it worse?[/quote]
