A peeved resident filed a 311 complaint this morning about this 1980s-era computer graphic illegally parked in a No Standing zone at Soldiers Field Road and Soldiers Field Place in Brighton.

Parking tickets

Parking tickets should be proportional to the cost of the vehicle.
Since that's how excise tax works, why not other traffic infractions?
Ugliness surtax

I would suggest that there be a surtax based on the ugliness of the vehicle, but it could get ugly.

311 is for chronic problems, while 911 is for immediate problems. A single illegally parked car should probably merit a 911 call. That cars are always parked in this illegal space is worthy of a 311 ticket to that BTD can see the need to send out people to ticket.
Please do NOT call 911 to report an illegally parked car

Unless it's illegally parked in a way the presents an active danger to people (not sure what that would be, but worth the caveat).
That is very much not what 911 is for.

I once had to call the police regarding a parked car problem; as I recall I scrounged up a non-Emergency number for BPD and they instructed me to call 911.
This varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but in Boston parked cars are indeed a 911 appropriate call.

Same in Chelsealand.
Been told repeatedly to call 911 for illegally parked cars.
And yes like you, I called non-emergency first and got scolded.
And this is more noteworthy

And this is more noteworthy than any other illegally parked vehicle in the city?

It is almost like it is Adam's right to express himself on his own website. you can go to other websites if you do not agree with Adam's views.

What it represents
By BostonDog

If some hobbyist made a car like that I'd think it was pretty cool, TBH.
But it's not a neat prototype but rather an expensive toy from a horrible company led by a horrible person. That's what I see when one speeds by or parks illegally.
