The slobs of Beacon Hill

Jay lives on a dirty street:

Moments ago a city street sweeper brushed its way down Anderson Street on Beacon Hill. Down the middle of the street. That's because nine of the approximately twelve spaces between Revere and Phillips were filled with cars that weren't moved. ...

He wonders when Hizzoner will make good on his pledge to tow cars that stand in the way of streetsweeping progress. One wonders, though: In this age of self-reliance, why wait for City Hall? Maybe Beacon Hill should get off its duff, follow the Back Bay's lead and annoint some block-captain vigilantes (but would they in turn need supervision to make sure they don't become parking Nazis?).
