About the claim that only half of Washiongtonians drive cars in Washington DC...You would have be a real local to to know the simple fact that many do not register their automobiles in Washington DC and use addresses in Maryland and Virginia to avoid the great expense of DC insurance.

There are many that live and work here but are from some place else too and they retain their license plates from other states even Canada. Again one needs to check out all the differing license plates that are not registered in Washington DC and many of whom park in private parking to avoid tickets and street parking all together. In fact one of my SW private parking lots have many residents cars with out of town tags that have been living and working in Washington DC for years.

You're building a lot of sympathy here.

What about the needs of folks who illegally drive unregistered dirt bikes on our sidewalks? We need to make sure they're represented. And all those guys who illegally dump used oil down the storm drains? Surely their needs should take precedence.

I have actually heard long-term residents complain about the fact that the city tightened up regulations on used car dealerships, and now you can't easily purchase temp tags.

With all due respect, fuck 'em.
