> They should plaster the neighborhood in warning notices a month before the event

I grew up in Seattle but lived in Philly for 2 years and this was one of the strangest things to me. In many cases they don't post _any notices at all._

I knew enough people who got "courtesy" towed with no records that I added a GPS tracker to our car to make sure I could find it.
