If you want to see the worst case. Go over to the corner of Sunset and Highland on the NE side RIGHT in front of Hollywood High. Can you believe there are no trash cans around a high school and direc...

We're not *all* selfish. Some of us drive solo due to convenience and schedules, or should I say "lack of". By convenience I mean if it's market day, I'm not gonna carry 7 or 8 bags of groceries on th...

Yes, but it doesn't state "you are allowed to park here if they don't sweep." I agree that were we to follow that logic, that would be the reasonable conclusion, but that doesn't mean that is what th...
