@20002ist I noticed an out-of-state vehicle parked on my street this morning with $31,800 in outstanding automated enforcement violations. I recall you having some suggestions a while back over how DC could address this issue, including neighbors submitting info to 311. Did you receive any feedback you could share with me on that?

I’m not sure what’s more impressive: your city’s teams in 3 of the 5 major professional men’s sports leagues making it to their respective league championships within 4 months of each other; or not getting to hoist the trophy in any one of them.

I see blatant disregard of basic traffic laws so often in my neighborhood that I just expect it at every intersection, but when the offending vehicles have fake temp tags my annoyance levels up. I’m glad I’m not the only one noticing this. Great commentary from @tjl https://tomlee.wtf/2023/02/03/fake-tags-are-a-real-problem/
