Falls Church -- enforcement won't have impact until the streetcar is in service, there is a roving tow truck, and massive fines.

I don't think you understand how stuff works in certain DC neighborhoods about rampant violation of double parking and jaywalking against traffic signals. cf. _Streetwise_ by Elijah Anderson. There is such wanton disregard that without certain exogeneous variables like big, heavy streetcars, things won't change anytime soon.

Portland of course is much more homogeneous demographically, and so getting people to follow the law might be easier there...
