[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does this bother people so much?  None of you are complaining that residents can't find parking places, which would seem to be the only legitimate concern.  Otherwise you're just mad that you think someone else is getting away with something.

There are a few people who park on my street and take the bus, but frankly the much bigger problem is all the churchgoers who park on my street on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.[/quote]

WHy does it bother me? Because YOU DONT LIVE HERE. It's ILLEGAL!! I live here and I pay taxes for these services and for my street. You made a choice not to live here and that's ok but don't come and flout our laws and then ask me what's the big deal. And I have called 311 on a couple of cars. Here's how it works, they come by and tag the plate, and it's in the computer, [b]if plates keep showing up on the scanner then they ticket. Eventually they'll tow.[/b] [/quote]

For the record, this is complete and utter BS.  I live three blocks off Connecticut where they ticket every morning because one side of the street is a free for all without any zone parking restrictions (have I blown my cover).  Every major bus line is mere feet from this block.  They actually DO tag the cars over there for repeats.  If you have a visitor's permit and park over there -- like my nanny does every morning (for years), you don't get a ticket or put in the system.  Believe me, we have asked.  There is no way they can tell if someone is a nanny or a commuter.  Duh!

Stop being hysterical.[/quote]

Excuse me but there are multiple types of guest passes.  And yes, in Glover Park, they do log license plates.  Not the OP, but a former resident of Glover Park whose husband got ticketed using a guest pass before he was able to get his plates changed to DC.[/quote]
