House looks abandoned. Little black cat seen in front yard. Backyard gate is open - appears to have pet carriers strewn about back there. Maybe someone at the animal shelter could drop by and look around (?)
1. Parking meter is comparable to every other parking meter in town. 2. Meter is clearly configured and marked to accept coins: coin slot, label stating “COINS” with an arrow plus a notice “INSERT VALID COINS ONLY” 3. Despite the clear labeling and configuration of the meter to accept coins, alternating digital display actually reveals “CARDS ONLY” 4. Someone using the meter puts money in, only to get nothing for it, and THEN discover that despite the labeling, this particular meter (unlike hundred of others like it all over town) DOES NOT ACCEPT COINS. 5. Not accepting cash is an equity issue. Not everyone carries a credit card around. 6. There is no reason to make this so utterly confusing. This problem of misleading labels on the meter about accepting coins but not actually delivering paid time to park seems to be either a scam, incompetence, or laziness.

The tenants at the apartment complex across the street have pulled up the no parking sign from the north side of the street and tossed it into the massively overgrown invasive species on the property (which also need to be addressed). Thanks!
These piles of debris have been blocking this sidewalk for several weeks.
Owner has still not removed the BAMBOO that’s growing into alley and into my yard.
