Nah, but I saw you.... fucking quakers.

Fun fact: the Jersey Devil is the 13th of Mrs Leeds. Who's Leeds? He's just a local politian people hated. It would be like if we were like "trump's son is a shit monster---> that's the ol' trump shit monster---> 'let's go shit monsters' *clap *clap *clapclapclap!"

>think rules do not apply

They often don't. The city has abdicated even the most basic enforcement to the people, but the citizenry has neither the incentive nor the power to enforce rules either.

Rules without enforcement, whether taht enforcement is by government or by society, are rules that do not exist.

This city is so fucking weird when it comes to ticketing and money. Yes, you're right, they could make a ton of cash. They could do a whole lot of things that would make life better for everyone.

And they simply choose not to.

Idk about a ton of revenue. Once they put their flashers on for one ticket everyone else will drive off and circle around until the cops are gone. At the end of the day I guess it’s not hurting anyone enough to warrant requiring police to scare them away all day long.

I’ve lived in a lot of cities and flown through many more. This is the only place where I’ve seen this happen. I think it’s because people here give 0 fucks when it comes to anything car-related and have a myopic view of everything centered on themselves.

I love this city but god damn. The car culture is so toxic and self-centered it’s incredible. Even on my street it’s a crapshoot if I can

  1. Find a spot when I get home from work because no one actually backs their car up after parking so there’s tons of half spaces or
  2. I can barely get out in the mornings because I have 4 inches in front and behind me
